Ribbon Organizer

For Christmas I decided to make homemade gifts for the people I care about.  I love to craft and thought spending time making things would be more fun then analyzing the store shelves and searching for the perfect gift.  I decided on making ornaments for Christmas trees as well as Cookie Recipe Jars.  I will be posting a 'How-To' on both of those shortly but that isn't the point of this post.  The point of this post is to tell you both of those crafts required a lot of different kinds of ribbon to make them unique and my ribbons were not well organized, until now!  


At first I just had a bin under my craft table where I would stack the miscellaneous spools of ribbon but that became really messy so quickly!  Because it was such a mess I decided to research some organization techniques for all of my ribbons, that is when I found this AWESOME idea!  


All you need is a plastic basket/container with little holes along the side and a long skinny kabob stick of some kind.  You place the ribbons on the stick via the hole in the center of the spool and stick it inside the basket and then poke the end of the ribbon out of a hole and you have easy access to a well organized supply of ribbon! Here is a visual so you can see what I am talking about.  I highly recommend organizing your ribbons his way, it is cute and easy to use!
