Now that they're out in the open, I can find what I need immediately. The empty drawer filled up fast (lol)!

I need alot more room before that can happen. I stumble over everything to get at my supplies. Great holders from Wal Mart though, and some great ideas from the other ladies also. LOL organize?

What I do have I keep in a clear tote with handle. from Walmart, even tho I am new, I have read enough to know to keep my supplies small and use all I have, because newer and better things come along.

First of all, it was completely free. I took the clear plastic container that I bought my fresh spinach in at Sam's Club (washed it out of course). I'm sure you can use a plastic shoe box too. I took scrap chipboard from the back of legal pads or writing pads and cut them in 2 3/4" x 11" strips. Cut them to whatever length fits into your box. I taped the end of the ribbon to the chipboard and began neatly winding it around the chipboard and taped or pinned the end when I was done winding it. I took the next ribbon and lined it up right next to the last one and filled the card with coordinating ribbon. I did this while watching TV - mindless work. I went from having a huge plastic tote filled with all my ribbon on the paper spools they came on, (the paper spools take up so much room) to having this small box that is neatly organized, clearly visible, fits on a shelf, keeps the ribbon straight and tangle-free, is easy to transport the entire box, etc. I just couldn't see spending so much money on ribbon storage when I'd rather spend the money on ribbon. You can never have enough ribbon!!! I am so happy with my ribbon storage for several reasons. First of all, it was completely free.

I've finally settled on a storage method that I love and recently I posted this ribbon storage solution on my blog. You can see it here - it's a fairly small footprint. I'm not a ribbonaholic or anything, but this is currently storing over 650 rolls of ribbon and there's still room left.
