How can that NOT get your attention?
Lol.
So here's the peek-
And here's the expanded version:
Yummy, right?
I've tried organizing by ribbon type (all grosgrain/satin/etc), by ribbon series (striped grosgrain), but I like to see it by color.
SO.PRETTY.
This is actually part of a rather large shelving unit- after I joined the May Arts team I needed to store that gorgeous ribbon, so I added 1x2" mdf boards to the shelving unit. I have an L-bracket on each end & in the middle for support.
Now what do you do when that isn't enough room?
You visit Ikea!
This wire basket cart holds a TON of ribbon! And you can even stack another unit on top for more storage. I love that I can sort it by color & see what color is in each before I even pull out the basket.
And for ribbon that I don't have entire rolls of?
I keep them on cardstock & file them in drawers too. No rhyme or reason! The Ikea baskets would work for this system too, but I already had this 3 plastic drawer bin, so I put it to use.
My baker's twine & silk are on my Ribbon Carousel!
Before I had such an amazing supply, I used to wrap my ribbon around clothes pins & put them in wide mouth jars. Also a super pretty way to store those smaller amounts of ribbon!
Hope I've given you some ideas for how to store your ribbon!

Wow, love your storage solutions. Love it organized by color too! Gotta get me a ribbon carousel one of these days...love them!
ReplyDeleteI also organize by color....it just makes sense!
ReplyDeleteI found a metal, rolling, 3-shelf cart in the garage and was wondering what I was going to do with it. I've been putting my ribbons on dowel rods and setting them upright on the floor. Now I can put them across the shelves, I do have to go in and sort by color. That is a good suggestion that I'd never thought of.
ReplyDeletethanks.
Wow, what an incredible collection of ribbons! I simply couldn't imagine ever having that much at one time. You've sure made yourself a great organized space!
ReplyDeletewow, you have an awesome amount of ribbon! I really need an Ikea store!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the twine holder. I love to be organized.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jen! I want that shelving unit! I love the white shelves with the splashes of color! The wire basket is perfect too! I have a 7-drawer plastic cart that I put my ribbon in and store it by color, but I love the look of yours :) Thanks for the great idea about clothes pins - that will be perfect for my odds and ends! Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shelf and you're so lucky to have the wall space for it! I store my ribbon by color too.
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas for overflow ribbon!! I also like collection by color, reminds me of a rainbow with crafting at the end!
ReplyDeleteGrouping by colors seems the best idea for me..I also tried the 'by ribbon type' method and ended up with a mess...what do you do when there are THREE colors in a ribbon?
