It was actually fairly easy but time consuming because (a) I have a little baby and (b) I wasn't happy with the color spray paint I initially bought.
So here's what you need:
A wooden frame
Paint if you don't like the color of it
Screw hooks
Staple gun and staples
Ribbon
I started by spray painting my frame. I got it 1/2 off at a Hobby Lobby. I chose something long and rectangular. It was black and I wanted it to be green so I purchased spray paint. Like I said, the initial color I bought was more yellowish than I wanted so my husband went and picked up something more green. Still a little more neon than I was hoping but we went with it anyway.
Once it was painted, we added the ribbon. I used four different kinds. You can use all the same pattern or different. I chose pinks and browns and zebra print. We just simply measured out even space between each ribbon and stapled the pieces on the frame with the staple gun. Spacing will vary depending on how many pieces of ribbon you want to use and the size of your frame.
Then my sweet husband screwed all of the hooks on along the bottom. These are for any headbands you want to hang that won't clip on the ribbons. We did one for every ribbon and added an extra on each end. You can use as many or as few hooks as you'd like.
I added a little wooden zebra as embellishment with hot glue and may eventually add her name in wooden letters too.
That's basically it! Hang it on the wall and add your bows and headbands. Very easy project, especially if you get the right paint color the first go round and if you have a husband who takes pity on your poor math skills and helps figure out spacing :)
