**** This is a re-post from my other blog that has been put on hold*****
Check out the BLOG CANDY on the side bar!!!
The other day I was trying to organize my craft room. It used to be my dining room now it is our library/ craft room/ study room.
I needed a place to store my ribbons. I have so many spools and I thought maybe I could hang a rod on the wall and store them there. My DH (he is wonderful) made a big fuss about making holes on the wall and what rod to get and blah blah blah.
I realized it was going to be a big problem and I would have to wait a while before I got my storage solution. So... I just put my brain to work and came up with this.
I used an old bulky piece of Styrofoam I had in my closet where I store my boxes and shipping supplies. I covered it with a piece of fabric and stuck some bamboo kabob sticks in it. Then I organized my spools by type and size. To finish it up I covered it up with another piece of fabric to keep it safe from the dust.
There is a saying in Brazil that says "If you don't have a dog to hunt with, you hunt with a cat." Can you translate that into an English saying??
Now, it may not look the best but it solved my storage problem. :) Hey, the day my studio looks like something out of a magazine, it will probably BE in a magazine. LOL
How do you store your ribbons??? Thanks for stopping by,

Currently I have a plastic shoe box for each of colors, however a couple of them are overflowing. When my studio is finished in the fall I plan to have a wall of Simply Renee Ribbon Clip Ups. I am saving my pennies!
This is very creative. I have 2 rods full of ribbon....2 jars full of wound ribbon and lace....2 boxes with the holes and ribbon poking out...see a pattern forming....an open box full of carded ribbon...bits and pieces poked here and there in between.
I don't think I will ever have them in one place. I do try to separate by color as much as I can.
I love ribbon
PS your DH did an awesome job on your craft table!!
my ribbon is wrapped around chipboard and stored in photo boxes.
LOVE your vintage give away!
Such a practical and easy to implement idea. I buy ribbons by the yard so I make colour coordinated organizers using recycled drinking straws. Here's mine http://angsandy.blogspot.com/2010/08/ribbon-organizer.html
