Weekend Inspiration - Ribbon Storage

Happy weekend! I've got some more storage ideas to share with you - this week I've been looking at ribbon.


Personally, I store mine in the jars (above) and in vintage wooden boxes (below).


Here are some more ingenious ribbon and twine storage methods that caught my eye. Enjoy!

Cathe from Just Something I Made created this fantastic storage item from an old yard stick, cup hooks and drapery rings.

KraftyBuns wraps her ribbon around manila tags from the office supply store. What a great inexpensive storage method!

Michelle Allen from Close 2 My Heart created this great ribbon holder from an old crate. Check out the step-by-step instructions on her blog.

Here's my favorite: Mamie Jane uses paint sticks and rulers to organize her lace and trim. I love it!

Last but not least, how much fun is this straw dispenser?

Weekend Inspiration - Clever Storage

I've been looking at a lot of different craft spaces to get ideas for my new studio. Thank you to those of you sent me links to various sites - they were fab! On my internet travels I've come across some really fun, innovative storage solutions and I thought I'd share some with you today.

Here's my #1 favorite - using colorful colanders to store your bits and bobs. I bet you could spray paint some plain ones instead of paying a premium for colored ones.
