finally finished!

These Bow holders have been in the works since the summer.  I found the frames at a yard sale nearby.  They're old vanity mirrors for the bathroom.  I removed the mirror, repainted and added ribbons.  The first attempt was to glue the ribbons but I didn't realize that hot glue doesn't really work on paint.  Then I borrowed a staple gun to staple them in.  I had to re-staple using some felt to keep it from ripping through.  The glue held the ribbons tighter than the staples.  We finally got them up on the wall and I was disappointed to see the frame disappear into the wall, but that's easy to fix.
