Thanks to everyone who sent us adorable bow displays! One of our favorites was from Jen Wade from Sandy, UT. She bought some old frames from the thrift store, painted them turquoise, then framed in cute scrapbook paper (without the glass) and strung some yarn around the frames. Super cheap and oh so chic! Check out her blog for more great thrifty ideas! www.refreshreuseredo.blogspot.com

So do you have some bows that somehow ended up at the bottom of your little girl’s drawer mixed with toys, dolls and who knows what else? Try some great tips to breathe new life into those bows!

Try putting cotton balls in the sheer loops and leaving them in overnight. In the morning they will return to the original shape!

Can’t wait overnight? Breifly place a curling iron into the sheer loops to fluff them up!

Instead of shoving the bows into a bathroom drawer, make a bright and beautiful decoration in the bathroom or your daughters room by using a wire form to display the bows. You can get these forms at any home decor store, antique stores, or try your local craft store. Not only do the bows stay neatly organized, but you can also clip on bracelets or other jewelry.

Do you have a great way to display your bows? We’d love to see your pictures or hear your ideas to keep bows looking perky and pretty!
