It seems I'm constantly organizing things in my studio, trying to find the best/better storage solutions. I recently reorganized all my ribbon and promised friends some photos, so here you go . . . I love these Embellishment Centers by Making Memories (I've never ordered from the site linked above, it's just the first site I found when I Googled these. For some reason, Making Memories doesn't have them listed on their site).
This is the larger one that measures 24" wide x 31.5" tall. It hangs on the wall in front of my desk (the ink pads in the lower right of this photo are sitting on my desk). It has cubbies to hold jars of ribbon and also Crop In Style's Ribbon Spool Stackers (again, I have no affiliation with this site -- I just wanted to find a better photo for you). I've found my ribbon stackers at Michael's or Hobby Lobby and the Embellishment Center at Michael's -- use your coupon!
I've tried to organize by color: reds, oranges, yellows and white/cream are in this center. The jars usually contain the same type variety -- wide satin, polka dot, swirls, velvet, etc. that I've gotten from the same source . . . that's just how my head organizes things! So I know if I want a polka dot, I can go to that jar and find the color I need.
On top of my ink pad holders is Stampin' Up's ribbon in their holders, along with my scrap ribbon jar. I stick all kinds of small scraps in there -- you just never know when it will be the perfect piece for your project!
Okay, don't gasp . . . but I have another smaller Embellishment Center on another wall!
It measures 27" tall x 18" wide and houses greens, blues, violets and dark neutrals (black/brown). It hangs on the wall next to a wall of storage I created with my Store in Style cubes from Crop in Style . . . I'll show you those at a later date when it's organized a little better! Look, I have one empty jar left!
Can you tell I love ribbon?!! So how do you store yours? I'm always looking for new/better solutions!
