It’s been
over a year since I posted anything on my blog. This is like starting all over
again. So here goes –
Mondays
have always been dedicated to hints, tips, and tricks. This Monday I’m going to
show you one of my storage ideas.
I have a
lot of ribbon, I use ribbon but not every day. I’ve tried keeping them in
various ways but nothing seemed to be working for me. I tried ribbon racks,
ribbon bars, putting them in various containers, etc., etc., etc., you get the
picture.
They just
kept getting jumbled up or the ribbon would spin off the spool.

Then I ordered
some acid free cardboard that are 6X6 inches and I found a container that they
would fit into.
I removed
the ribbon from the spools they came on and wound the ribbon onto the cardboard
keeping them organized by color.
Imagine my surprise
when I saw the end result.

The empty spools take up a lot of room (I should
have taken a picture of the big container they resided in before I started this
project). All the ribbon from these spools fit into the small container.

And
the best part is I just remove the lid from the new container and I can see exactly
what I have. No more digging around in the spools looking for the one I want. I
have room for more cardboard in this first container and I will add more ribbon
to it as I come across them while I am cleaning and organizing.
Keep on
stitching (and organizing)!
