5 best ways to make your own ribbon storage

There are many ways to store ribbon, i love make ribbon craft and i buy some beautiful ribbons(ps: i usually buy cheap ribbon here:www.yamaribbon.com ) as my DIY materials, so i am ganna to share some useful ways to store ribbon.
  1. Ribbon shelf – If you have a room dedicated to crafting, a ribbon shelf is a great way to not only organize your ribbons but to also decorate your crafting room. You can choose a shelf size that best fits your room. Some crafters dedicate an entire wall to display their ribbons while others prefer one or two shelves. The choice is ultimately up to you!
  2. Shoe box – Individuals that don’t have a large collection of ribbons just yet may prefer to use a more subtle form of ribbon storage. A shoe box is the perfect solution. Take any shoebox and cut a slit on the side for each of the ribbon. Place the ribbon spools inside of the shoe box and pull each of the ribbons through the slit. This is an easy and cheap way to organize and store a small collection of ribbons.
  3. Laundry Basket – Here is a unique and affordable way to store your spools of ribbon. You will need a laundry basket or large Tupperware bin with holes on the sides and two ¼” dowel rods. Insert the ribbon spools onto the rods. Place each end of the rods into a hole on the side of the bin. Then pull each of the ribbon through a hole so you can have easy access to your ribbon collection without the frustration of rolling spools and tangles.
  4. Clothes Hanger – Have you ever seen those clothes hangers for pants that come with multiple rings for hanging items? Instead of hanging up pants, use this hanger to store ribbon. Just fill up each ring with ribbon and replace onto the hanger. Then you can store the hanger in the closet of your craft room. You can also use a clothes hanger bag to store embellishments like in the picture.
  5. Ribbon Jars – Store your scrap ribbons in glass cracker jars like in the photo from Better Homes and Gardens. You can organize the jars by color or size, depending on which one is more important to you. 
I usually make ribbon storage myself. Are you trying to find a way to organize and store your ribbons? More creative Ribbon Storage Idea i shared in this article:http://www.yamaribbon.com/article/how-to-make-a-ribbon-storage-box.html
