I am making my daughter a cheer bow hanger. It is an 8x20 canvas w/3 ribbons hanging down. I got mini clothes pins to attach them to the ribbon. I thought that I'd just be able to put the clothes pin on the side of the ribbon and grab the rubber band of the bow to it. It doesn't work like I thought it would. They either slide down the ribbon or hang forward. I see them all over pinterest. What am I doing wrong?

My guess would be that the mini clothes pins aren't holding them tight enough...?

I think you are right. I tried a bobby pin and that worked better. Not my ideal solution (or what I had in mind when I started) but it'll do for the time being.

A couple of the bow holders I had for my dd also had a strip of cardboard behind them. So, the ribbon was in front of the cardboard and no one saw it. Her bows just had the clips on them.

can you hot glue the mini clips to the ribbon? that way they only have to grip the hairbow, not the ribbon as well, and they can't slide down.
ETA you could also use those little alligator clips if you needed something more aggressive and tight.
