Hair Clip Holder (aka... fun fun fun with the staple gun)

Recently, I made a hair bow/clip holder for my daughter based on several tutorials I found online, including:

It was very easy and simply involved using a staple gun to attach a strip of fabric and several ribbons to a stretched art canvas. Please refer to the tutorials linked above for detailed instructions. My materials included: 
1 - 12" x 16" stretched art canvas 
2 - grosgrain ribbon spools 
1/2 yard fabric (from JoAnn, mine was called "Legacy Studio Scroll Batik")
1 staple gun with staples
1 bag of gold foam "Sparkle Letters" (at JoAnn for $3 retail price)
