Ribbons Storage Organizer

ribbons organizer
Due to my recent shopping and frequent trips to craft stores, the box that I used to keep my lovely ribbons is exploded and messy. I no longer can find any ribbons without having to pour everything out and de-tangle some of them. I am trying my best to keep my craft room as tidy as the one I posted here after every project. But, it is impossible to achieve that goal if things are too messy to begin with. I don’t want to waste time in digging and searching for the right ribbons anymore. So, I decided to reorganize and tidy up the ribbon box and other similar boxes like lace, cord, and tape.

ribbon storage idea

As you can see from the above before photo, I can’t even put on the lid to cover the box before stacking it up on the shelf. It is no joke when I need to get a specific ribbon out from the box. I found out I can free up a lot of space by removing the packaging of some of the ribbons. Some packagings especially the spools with big core are simply too bulky to keep. So, I decided to take those out. Then, I need to find a way to keep my ribbon organize and tidy otherwise they will get tangled up after a few digs. This is where the cardboard comes in place to wind them up and keep them in place. A tiny head sewing pins are handy to keep the ends on the winding. Read more after the jump to the second page.

    For those of you that have kinky ribbon get an old cheap hair straightener…run the ribbon through quick..no more kinks…I had my ribbon on spools but have not been crafting so put it all in a box..now i am going to go through it and use spools, and clothespins and keep them sorted in shoe boxes..that way i can use it quickly but keep it dust free..

    I’ve done all of my rolls of ribbon this way!
    It’s a great way to save space!!

      I am happy to know that it works for you. Hope others will follow this method soon, we need to clear off the clutter in our craft storage 😉

    I find that if ribbon is stored by being wrapped around flat cardboard, its gets bends in it and the bends have to be ironed out. I prefer to roll them the same way ,just around a toilet tissue roll, or paper towel tube.

    Hi. Thanks for the inspiration. I sorted through my ribbon box and now have most of them on cards. The rest on rolls. It’s so neat now. I’ve realized that I have heaps of space for more ribbon using your technique.

    I think you never sleep. (creative). How many hours do you spend for your family? (hehe i’m curious)… I have many things to study from you. And you can just call me Tsengee.

      So do I. A very nice idea. I’ve got all ribbons in a box, winding like snakes.

    I like the 5 yard rule of thumb. I can never decide if it’s more efficient/cleaner to keep the ribbon on the spool or re-wind, etc. thank you!
