I was having a look round for ribbon storage ideas (to go with my new stock of RUBs) last night and came across the site which has a downloadable ebook for £5.95 showing how to make your own ribbon holders, in theory from 3 household/craft basicx. I wsa a bit intrigued and of course it would be cheaper than buying a load of ribbon rings or ribbon wraps. It looks like some she has made some ribbon wraps that hang together on a single ring or something but i couldn't see anymore detail of how she's done it!
I know I'll end up buying it...........I'm intrigued :o
I had a look at the youtube vid. IMO (I am a nasty suspicious person) if she won't show the whole thing then it is either a rubbish idea or something you can work out for yourself! (maybe both lol) The blurb about each book should cost 12 pounds odd and you are getting two for only 5.95 stinks too...somwhere I have seen homemade ribbon storage instructions, will go take a look
Mine was seen hanging on the wall on my craft room pics. I opened out a metal coathanger, threaded the ribbon spools on and hooked the bottom up just enough to stop them dropping back off, the hook part of the hanger is used to hang the whole thing on the wall.
Ooh lots of good ideas there, in fact I've been having abit of a play this afternoon (should be working but I just had to try out my RUBs) and it occurred to me that a good way of making ribbon tags would be to cut up some of those plastic boxes that washing powder liquitabs comes up - I had a try and it works really well! :D
I want to put my ribbons into one of the deep RUB organiser trays so that I can see them all laid out. I cut the plastic box up into squares the same size as the compartments, the wider ribbons go one each round a tag and with the narrower ribbons I can get 2 or 3 around each tab.:p
Looks really neat - I feel like I should be on Blue Peter! ;)
I just remembered, if it loose short bits not spools, you can also get a wire coathanger and put clothes pegs on it (open them and shove until the small hole is round the bar) then peg the ends of the ribbon on the pegs

Could you cut up plastic milk containers in the same way? I was thinking of the 4pt or 6pt ones.
