Ribbon storage



This is how I store my ribbon that is thin enough. I use the doll pins from Michael's (30 pack for 3.99 but I am cheap and use a coupon!) Then I just wrap them on them, tape the ends or pin whichever I have handy and place on this handmade spinning organizer. The doll pins have slits in the middle and are flat ended so they slide right on the organizer. I organize it by most prominent color. It has 12 sides and I have lots of room to grow! It sits on the top shelf in my craft room and I just spin and remove what I need. Easy Peasy. Hubby made it for me! What do you think?

  1. Yes dollie, that is a KY state fair shirt. My Ashlea danced in a Jamfest comp in Aug., won first place in their division. Are you a KY girl?

    This is a fab idea for storing ribbon! Love how it spins and the whole concept of it all! Does it take up much room?
