Hair bows multiply. I am pretty sure of it.
One gift here, one shopping trip there, a few cheer bows from practice. Then one day the drawer will not close.
The good news is that bows look so cute when they are displayed. Good storage can turn a messy pile into actual room decor.
These 12 hair bow storage ideas work for nurseries, shared kids rooms and growing collections of every size.
1Display Bows on a Wall Hanger
A wall hanger turns bows into nursery decor. Bright colors on the wall and every bow easy to grab.
Dozens of bows clip along the fabric strips. It is one of the quickest ways to get organized.
- Doubles as decor
- Every bow visible
- Holds dozens
My Pick
Hair Bow Organizer Wall Hanger
Holds dozens of bows on fabric strips and looks adorable on a nursery wall.
2Sort Headbands on a Dedicated Stand
Headbands tangle in a shared bin. A stand gives each one its own post.
The whole collection stays visible, and you can grab one without pulling out three.
- No tangles
- See every headband
- Small footprint
My Pick
Headband Organizer Stand
Every headband on its own post, so nothing tangles.
3Contain Small Clips in a Storage Case
Tiny clips go missing first. They end up all over the bathroom counter.
A case with little compartments keeps every clip sorted. Close the lid and toss it in a drawer.
- Tiny clips stay found
- Portable case
- Easy to sort
PRO TIP Baby hair clips are small enough to be a choking risk. Store them up high or in a closed case, out of reach of little ones.
My Pick
Hair Clip Storage Case
Little compartments keep tiny clips sorted and out of the way.
4Keep Bows Sorted in a Drawer Organizer
Prefer bows out of sight? A drawer organizer is perfect.
Sort by color or by occasion. Opening the drawer feels like opening a little bow shop.
- Hidden storage
- Sort by color
- Tidy and simple
My Pick

Divides a drawer into sections for sorting bows by color or occasion.

6Mount a Nursery Wall Accessory Holder
Even a tiny baby bow collection deserves a pretty spot. A nursery wall holder looks sweet from day one.

- Sweet nursery decor
- Grows with the collection
- Easy to reach for parents
My Pick

Cheer bows are big and heavy. They can pull down a light fabric hanger over time.
A cheer bow holder with sturdy hooks and wider spacing keeps them crisp and ready for practice.

My Pick
Cheer Bow Holder
