Organizing Your Ribbon!

With Spring comes along spring cleaning and organizing, which it seems everyone is doing and with the weather outside just not quite warm enough yet to be outside this is the perfect time to get organized. The other day when I was putting away my beads and embellishments I came upon a box full of ribbon, very unorganized and some even right off the roll. I wanted to share with you how I got my ribbon organized. Supply List : Metal Coat Hangers Pliers Tape Take your pliers as shown and carefully untwist the metal coat hanger. When its untwisted it will look like the coat hanger on the right. Take the ribbon you want to organize and put them on the hanger as shown in the picture on the left, filling the bottom of the hanger only. When you have the bottom of the hanger filled, you now have to put the hanger back together again. You can either carefully twist the hanger together by hand or you can use your pliers as shown. You now have your ribbon organized and in one place! You can hang your ribbon in a closet or on the back of a door or anywhere you choose to. Tips : To keep the ribbon from unrolling take a piece of scotch tape or masking tape and put over the end of the ribbon on the roll. On each coat hanger I filled with ribbon, I tried to keep the rolls about the same size. I also sorted out all the colors I had and kept the ribbon of the same color on one hanger together so I know what I have. One more hint is to take a piece of clear plastic and put it over your hanger, this will keep the ribbon dust free while hanging in your closet or on the back of a door. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any organizing hints and tips we would love to hear about them so that we can include them here for everyone to enjoy!
