It doesn’t get easier than this. If you want to learn how to make a bow holder with only two supplies, here is all you need:

Depending on your preferences, you can build up this bow holder by adding different types of twine or by placing a fabric behind the twine for more color.

  1. Separate the two hoops and start tying and wrapping the twine around the inner hoop.

  3. When you’re satisfied with your pattern, combine the two hoops and tighten the screw, cutting the excess twine.
