Really Reasonable Ribbon has been talking about ribbon storage. and someone just emailed me about my post on the CK blog storage discussion asking for a photo, AND this is my favorite thing to look at in my studio, so I thought I would share a photo of my ribbon storage here. My husband says I am a little brave, because this shelf is right above my head, but these vases from the dollar tree fit perfectly on it. And they are the perfect size because I can just fit my hand down inside (and I have large hands). although, as you can see here, I am running out of space in some of them, so I am going to need to come up with an alternative. So far I have separated out the 'really special' trims - like the ones that have all the ribbon roses on them, and my wide silk ones. The purple you see here is actually flowers. I have the purple, white and black ribbon stored elsewhere, because I had a very small amount of purple and a very large amount of black and white. Now that I am looking at this though, I think I need to get some more pink!

I like your idea. I use one of the Ribbon Ease case thingies....and while it keeps my ribbon in one location, I don't really find it easy to see what ribbons and trims I have. Plus it puts a crimp in the ribbon where it come through the hole and it can stretch out crocheted trims when you pull them through. I think I'll try your idea with my more "special" trims.
The rainbow of colors is lovely! Great tip & photo.
Neat idea!!! I love using things that are meant for something else. I also love getting those things for a good price- Dollar Store- yeah!!!!
Your ribbon looks so pretty stored that way! Thanks so much for sharing your ribbon organization idea with your friends at Really Reasonable Ribbon!
