Additional little tip….. when you wind shorter ribbons around the card (when you don’t have them on a spool) write the length of the ribbon on the card and you don’t then have to unwind to find out if you have enough for your project or not

This idea would translate so well for washi tape as well! Genius idea! I love seeing these great hacks that not only are incredibly useful and PRACTICAL, but they also are so pretty. I can picture how pretty my washi tape would be adding colour pops along the rack. The other thing I like about this plan is that you can see what you have. I don’t know about you, but I have often bought the exact same pattern simply because I forgot I already had it in my stash. By having everything in front of you when choosing, you can actually save money by avoiding;g those duplicates. Thank you so much, Jan! ❤️🇨🇦

@spremier9626 3 ай бұрын

You mean I didn’t have to buy those 3 boxes to hold washi tape? $30 each 😂. I might see if I can work this for my Glimmer foil rolls. I have about 40. At least a dozen rolls of texture tape, or something like that. I bought a holder for that but never hung it. Thanks for your suggestion 🙏🏽

@brendagriffin6437 4 ай бұрын

I have Ikea boards for my 5 workstations. My husband says I have enough holes in the walls. LOL 😜So, I use skewers or dowels cut to just shy of the width of my Sterlite stackable drawer containers. I place the spools onto the skewer/dowel by color, add an elastic over one end and stretch it to the other. Place in my bin. This not only keeps my colors together, but it elastic stops the end unraveling off the spool. I guess you could also sort by width of ribbon or type of ribbon if you desire that. If I need red ribbon, I remove the skewer(s) I need and place it back in my drawer when done. As I have many types of crafts I do, I don't always use ribbon so having the ribbon out collecting dust or fading from light is not an option for me.

As I watched I initially thought, nope. I keep my trims and ribbons in drawers to prevent fading and dust. But I realized one could include a top rod and make a cornice pocket sheer to hang over all ribbons, trims to accomplish what I initially thought was a shortcoming. One could really get creative on the top rod and one could easily spray paint those rods too. I am in the process of reorganizing my sewing and craft rooms, I am going to see if I can use your hint. Thank you for a realistic and economical solution. When it comes to loose ends,why not notch cardboard similiar to how thread rolls work?

Fantastic idea! I don’t have a lot of ribbon yet, but this a great thing to do when I get more. I love the thread holders! Where did you get those? I have a bunch of thread, all tossed into 2 separate small totes, one for polyester and one for cotton. I think your wall holders will be a big help in storing my thread!

Genius idea - it does solve all the problems except for one big one. That would be me actually working with and using up all the spools of ribbon I have neatly tucked away in plastic boxes - not messy. That is because they get so messy when I use them that now I just avoid that and they are wasting away BUT you have solved that problem with your wonderful idea. THANK YOU SO!!

I couldn’t really see how you inserted the pin into the ribbon spool! I really liked the idea, but don’t know how you placed in in the spool. Love the loose ribbon storage idea, though. I have my loose ribbon in a gallon sized storage bag, which I hate.

@JanHowell 3 ай бұрын

Insert the pin at an angle so it doestn't go straight into the spool. You can also use a small piece of painters tape to hold it in place.
