I keep it all in a big basket. Fortunately, I don't mind digging through piles of ribbon for a specific color or style.
ReplyDeleteMy husband made me two spinning ribbon racks to store and display my ribbons. They are so awesome. Not only can I see what I have now, but they look gorgeous in my craftroom!
ReplyDeleteMy spools of ribbon are in a soft sided canvas box in my bookshelf unit and the bits and pieces are grouped by color on safety pins which are attached to key rings and hang off of a floor lamp near my craft desk.
ReplyDeleteI store my ribbon on my wall in a 3 layer wire shelf (kind of look like long white wire baskets)

My spools are in a large fabric-lined country basket. I love the look of it and it's fun to search for just the right ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI wrap my ribbon around cardboard,and put it in a box.
ReplyDeleteI have my odds and ends on the Ribbon Ring, and I have a dowel that I hang my spools of ribbon from.
ReplyDeleteBits and pieces are in a huge fishbowl. Ribbon still on a spool or new is stored in a three-drawer cart by color so that when I open the drawer I can see what I am looking for immediately. What I want to do is get a gutter and have it cut the length of my shelves, mounted, and transfer the spools to the gutter for even better visibility.
ReplyDeleteI am new to using ribbon so I don't have alot of it yet. Right now they are stored on an vertical paper towel holder.
ReplyDeleteI sort by color and then place in bins..works great because I'll come up with a few different ribbions that could work when I go digging :)
ReplyDeleteI keep my ribbon tossed in drawer. Not a great way but so far I do not have an excessive supply!
ReplyDeleteI have mine in a drawer and dig through it. I have been looking for a way to store it better.
ReplyDeleteAnne
Unfortunately in a big drawer! But I'd love to get two ribbon carousels so I could use one for twine and one for ribbon...someday, someday!
ReplyDeleteColored coded and sorted into holiday themes in clear plastic boxes. :)The scraps are color coded and in zip lock bags in the same plastic box as sed color. Twine has it own box though. :)
ReplyDeleteI have ribbon scraps in clear jars (Making Memories), and I have ribbon in spools and on cards in one Sterilite drawer, organized by color (sort of). And there's also a ribbon holder that I got from my inlaws a few years ago - it has dowels on a base...but it's not nearly big enough for all my ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI made large type bobbins out of plastic canvas, I wrap about different ribbons per bobbin, sorted by color.
ReplyDeleteMy ribbon is tossed in a basket. It's a mess.
ReplyDeleteSorted by color in ziploc bags and than the bags are in a shoe box size container.I can easily see the colors and patterns and get what I need.It owrks for me.
ReplyDeleteMine is stored in a clear plastic storage box. This has worked very well for me!
ReplyDeleteMy DH made a rack to store my larger wired ribbon where I can just pull the end and it spins for easy access. He used scrap wood pieces and thin poles that are mounted on my craft room wall. I also use a pants/clothes hanger to store my smaller spools of ribbons. It has 4 bars with easy access to remove empty spools and holds about between 50-70 spools depending on the width of the spools.
ReplyDeleteI store my ribbon by color family in canning jars......works great for me!
ReplyDeleteKaty

ReplyDeleteCjeffg24
Rolled around clothespins, secured with a straight pin and thrown into a canvas bin on one of my shelves.
ReplyDeletei have a ribbon rack for some and the rest in clear storage bins.
ReplyDeleteI wish it was a nice easy answer... does everywhere count... I have it in drawers on a ribbon shelf and in jars... I need serious organization in my craft room!! HELP... LOL
ReplyDeleteUntil now, in a pile/general area on the sideboard, but I just received some simply Renee ribbon organizers, and that stuff is going to be whipped into shape!
ReplyDeleteI have a rack with some doll rods hanging across the spools of ribbons hang on. This stills on my shelf in my craft room. The remaining of my ribbons spools are in a container. I have a lot of ribbon. :)
ReplyDeleteThen my scrap ribbon is placed in a glass jar with a lid. Similar to this pinterest pin i was inspired by the store my scraps this way.

I have very limited space, so my ribbons are in a plastic container under my scrap table.
ReplyDeleteMy ribbons are in a photobox container for now!
ReplyDeleteI store some of mine pinned to embroidery hoops and some rolled up and pinned with a straight pin.
ReplyDeleteI bought a wall hanging wood bookshelf... took out the selves made holes on each end and put a wood rod thru the holes. The self unit had three selves so you get three rods (or more depending on how you want to space them). Another way I store the ribbons I use more often is also with a wooden piece which I think is for placing hats on. The base has a heart shape with a rod in the middle. I fit eight spools of ribbon I use most often and close by.
ReplyDeleteI just organized my ribbons with a ribbon organizer. I can't believe how many rolls of ribbon fit on it! I have a beautiful box to put all the little odds and ends in.
ReplyDeleteI take the ribbons off the spools and put in a very LARGE jar. I have 2 jars and I love the way they look, a fancy label and instant decor item as well as being functional!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly?? It's all crammed into a drawer. :/
ReplyDeleteCurrently have my ribbon all over. Have some in flat (1.5'x3')plastic container that fit under the bed. Also have some in deep 2'x3' plastic containers. Then the small cardbacked ribbons are in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing how some of you store yours. So I can get ideas for that too! :D
I have some in a handcrafted ribbon holder. That was enough in the early years but now I have 3 craft storage shelves that include ribbon rods. My small scraps are in an ivy bowl and my longer scraps hang over a dowl rod.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Ribbon Racks from Jetmax and I also have magnetic jars for some. When I get multiple ribbons I store extras in plastic bins...
ReplyDeleteA Ribbon Carousel is my favorite way to store my ribbon.

I just worked on my ribbon storage. On spools, I have storage bin with dowels holding the spools and the ribbon sticking through the holes of the bin (pinterest inspired). For loose ribbon in jars (Adam's peanut butter jars).
ReplyDeleteI have my ribbons everywhere. Jars, drawers, floss boxes, and hanging on hooks in my cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of setting up my craft space, so right now they're all crammed in a clear storage box. Not very organized! :)
ReplyDeleteI use the Ribbon Ring and some is in my Workbox canvas drawer.
ReplyDeleteI have 4 clear craft tubs, organized by color.
ReplyDeleteI bought some dowl rods (don't know if I spelled that correctly). Most of my ribbon is on spools so I put the spools on the rods and stand them in a corner by my work space. (I'm up to 4 rods now.) I wish I could mount them somewhere but I don't have extra wall space so they sit close to me.
ReplyDeleteI store it in a stack container designed for Christmas ribbon

ReplyDeleteI store my scraps in ole glass spice jars. I store spools on a shelves I made using eaves trough.
ReplyDeleteCurrently, my ribbons are i boxes, but as soon as I get my studio set up in our new home, I'll have them on dowel rods, in antique jars, and some in baskets, depending what type of ribbon it is. I like to wrap ribbon pieces around antique spools.
ReplyDeleteI store some of it on dowel rods in my washroom, some in mason jars and some in tic tac containers....it all depends on the quantity I have of it. I saw the tic tac container idea on Pinterest...Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI store my ribbon hanging from a rod using binder rings and safety pins. It's cheap and holds a ton of ribbons and trims. I even have a pair of scissors hanging next to it so I can quickly snip off what I need. Everyone who sees it loves how simple it is.
ReplyDeleteI have the regular size rolls in an Art Bin storage container on my shelf with other Art Bins. It has compartments that hold several rolls. The small size rolls are in jars on my bookcase. I like using Peanut Butter plastic jars for storing ribbons. I also have a Clip-it-up on the wall for my larger rolls.
ReplyDeleteI keep my ribbon in a clear storage box on spools
ReplyDeleteI'm drowning in ribbons! I went through this stage where I literally bought every ribbon made in every shade, texture and size! Currently, its in a disarray! I've got them in a big 3-drawer sterilite drawer, while others are stuffed in bags...somewhere and the itty bitty cute ones are in glass jars I have lining my shelves. It sounds horrible, but its only because I'm currently sharing my space with my husband!

ReplyDeleteIt use to be in boxes, now I have some on my Clip it up and some in a basket.
ReplyDeleteI store them in several different ways. Scraps are in a large glass jar. Spools are in the ribbon organizer that I bought from Scrapbook.com (what a bargain too - regularly $49.99 - got it for $19.99) Others are kept in my Making Memories wall units. I LOVE RIBBON!
ReplyDeleteIn two smaller rubbermaid bins - twine in one and ribbon in the other.
ReplyDeleteI have a ribbon tote. It has clear plastic sides with holes to pull the ribbon through and a small pouch inside the top for scissors.
ReplyDeleteI have my longer lengths of ribbon on the "ribbon ring" system of storage coordinated by colour. I love that you can see at a glance what you have,and the ribbon doesn't get wrinkled. Shorter lengths and spools are in a box with slots that you pull a piece through. Bits under 5" long I keep in a clear box.

I roll my ribbon into smaller rolls and put them in embellishment caddys.
ReplyDeleteI love the Ribbon organizer and dispenser by Best Craft Organizers. I can store 72+ ribbons in a 6 x 10 x 3 travel case which makes it easy to take lots to crops!

ReplyDeleteThe scrapbook ribbon box
ReplyDeleteSpools i put in a big oversized basket, scraps in a photo box
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I used to be a Mary Kay consultant and I had this big "tackle box" used for sample products. I hung on to it and finally realized it's great for ribbon. Big rolls are stored inside and cut lengths are stored in the too section that has many cubby holes. I can pick the whole case up to browse through and my goal is to never exceed the storage capacity. Keeps my stash in check.
ReplyDeleteI keep my ribbons that are in spools in Martha Stewart Ribbon boxes. My loose ribbon I keep in a 12 x 12 decorative box near my scrapbook space to easily sort through.

ReplyDeleteMy ribbon stays on the rolls that I get them on because my husband built me 2 beautiful ribbon cabinets. Nicole Heady, owner of PTI, had her husband build her display racks and she posted the drawings, supply lists and some directions on her blog and my DH built them for me from her specs. You can find them on her blog. Here's the link and some pictures of her ribbon storage that I also have: http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/studio-ribbon-storage.html (you will need to copy paste)
ReplyDeleteNOTE: I seem to have a bit of a ribbon addiction...I keep several of them by color/pattern in stackable clear plastic bins. Once I ran out of those, I moved to storing all new ribbon purchases on old wrapping paper rolls and dowel rods in long underbed storage containers.
