woodworking projects for kids - Make a Cute Kid’s Barrette Holder

woodworking projects for kids

A friend bought my daughter some adorable barrettes and loved the holder so much she got it, too.  It was adorable but didn’t match Dot’s bedroom decor, so we decided to make one of our own.  The craft store has tons of little wooden shapes to choose from, and we picked a spiral to go with the “dot” theme in her room.

Paint the wooden design to match the decor of the room where youll hang it.

Cut a ribbon to length. We went with 35", but you can do whatever works for the space.

I have learned that when using the narrow ribbon, it’s very helpful to tie a knot in the end to avoid fraying.

Decorate the wooden design. Weve been using these colored buttons all over Dots room, so it ties it in to the overall decor.

Glue the top of the ribbon into a loop.

Add hot glue to the back so the ribbon lays flat for your barrette holder.

Like this!

Hang it up in your room, and clip your cuties barrettes to it.

What I Learned the Hard Way: The original used a much wider ribbon, and I think that was a better choice for lying flat against the wall.
