So I walk into my niece’s bedroom last night and there on the wall hangs the best idea I have seen in a while. I am sure it has been done before, but it’s new to me and I think it is genius!
My sister took a magnet board and large disc magnets to keep her little girls metal clip bows and flowers in one place. Pop them on and pop them off, and it so pretty and clean looking. Seriously, am I the last to have seen this?
**EDIT** My sister just called to inform me that she did in fact make this…I totally thought she bought it!! She bought the frame, took it down to a local sheet-metal shop and had them cut a piece to match the size of the frame. Then she just tapped some nails into back of the frame through the sheet metal…viola! She had seen it at a friends house years ago and loved the idea.
It would be easy to make at home, but you can buy the boards everywhere and the magnets can be bought at a craft store, or even Wal-mart has them.
Oh the possibilities…I think it would work great in a sewing room for all your little tools that have metal on them, or in your pantry to hold odd and end metal items.
What could you use this idea for?

Brilliant brilliant brilliant!!! My girls will love this!
Okay, I have not seen this either. It is so cute and such a smart idea!
You could use a small plastic box and glue the magnet on the back to hold the little things that are plastic.
I agree,this is a great idea. Where was this when you were little?
All I did was hang a pretty peice of ribbon on the wall and clipped them to that so they hung on it and not in a box.
I thought that was a good idea but the magnets are brillant.
Great idea, she has a little tin on there and you could use a metal one with a screw on lid to put the littlest clips in.
Wow! I love this idea! Thanks Destri!
Hey, I didn’t even get bows when I was little……..! Children these days are definitely spoiled!! tee hee. soooo clever and sooooo colourful. Love it. x
What a great idea! I get so tired of knocking them off the ribbon holder we now use!
Kendall!!!! We have missed you!
This is such a simple yet awesome idea! Why have I not thought of this?!?!? Thanks for sharing!
What a super idea for bows, I wish when my daughter was little I would have thought of that.
I have been thinking about something like this on the front of my kitchen cabinets, but I never thought about putting anything but the kid’s artwork on it. These magnets would be awesome for spoons, or hooks for potholders.
Oh that is a fabulous idea! Even behind the stove would be great. Send pics if you do it Paula!
That is the most clever thing I have seen in a long time. I have to share that with my niece. Thank for sharing.

неплохой ресурс, все полностью устроило. буду пользоваться дальше.
I love this idea. I’d like to share it with my readers in an upcoming post.
This is such a great idea! I’m totally loving it! I will feature this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com tomorrow!!!
Wow, what a perfect idea!! I love the cute magnet board. Now I just need a girl with hair bows! Bravo!
This is the best bow holder I have seen yet, not just for aesthetics but for sheer ease of use. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the great idea! I’m featuring it on my blog this month.
Love it
That’s fantastic! You could also paint the side of an armoire or closet door with magnetic paint and just stick them on!
love this! I actually painted a frame yesterday to make a bow holder for my daughter, but hadn’t thought about inserting mketal and making it magnet. Might have to rethink my plans!
I’ll go you one better!
Go to Ikea and get these metal magnetic strips:

Then just pop the hair clips right on it!
I use one for my knives in the kitchen as well.
