I recently reorganized my girls' bow collection and took some pictures. I may or may not have a problem. We use the plastic boxes with dividers. I showed some to my fiance in a craft store, and he told me we could get bigger ones like tackle boxes at Walmart. I really like the larger sized ones since they more easily fit boutique bows, and you can double stack them without them getting squished.

1. Novelty, mainly double looped 5/8", and the satin solid colored double looped 7/8"

2. Boutique bows and a few tiaras/crown clips on the end

I should probably be embarrassed to admit we've added 10 more bows to the collection since I reorganized about a week ago.

What do you use for backs, bands clips or barrettes?

I used to use only french clips, but I have moved to bands for many of the double looped bows. I think I still prefer the french clips for the boutique bows since I worry about the weight of the bow breaking off Rory and Lane's topknots (they have pretty thin hair).

I went from alligator clips to bands now back to clips. I'm horrible with the bands.lol They never lay right and Bri has thin top knot

I think a lot of it is preference. I don't know why, but I can never get alligator clips to lay on straight! I think a lot of people prefer them though. With the bands, I finally figured out how to do it. You just slide the bow on the topknot exactly how you want it to go (facing forward, centered, the whole thing), then pull one of the bands and wrap it behind the bow and around the topknot once or twice (if you really need to). I practiced on my finger several times, LOL!

I need something small for travel though. In the past I've just been using small ziplock bags with hairbands and some bows in it or a little box. But it isn't very organized that way. I like it organized like the big one that way you can easily find what you want.
So does anyone have an idea for a small bow travel case? I don't won't take the big one with me all the time.

Smaller versions of the craftboxes are sold at JoAnns and other craft stores. I put a safety pin on a dress and slide the bow onto that when we are traveling. That way they are together and I dont have to go hunt.

I have enjoyed seeing everyones collection of bows. To me it is ok to have an obsession as long as it is nontoxic. Bows really arent an expensive passion and they are all sooooo cute.

I used to use a craft organizer for Darcy's bows, until my friend Carrie made her a bow holder. I really like the bow holders better for the bows with clips, especially the larger boutiques, since it keeps them fluffy. I am attaching a picture of Layla's "Bow Tucker" made by Carrie. She has a FB page for her business Bow Tuckers | Facebook

She will make them in the color or style of your choice, and they are totally personalized to your liking. I have used mine to vend at various functions as well. I like them so much, I purchased a boy and a girl "generic" style, and will be offering them as contest prizes in a few weeks.
