Here is a sheet of ribbon bobbins you can print and cut. Also there is an svg file to cut them with your Cricut machine. Grab them here: http://thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.co...azion-freebie/

I thought those were a great idea once...but after I needed a certain ribbon, I took it off the holder and had to iron the ribbon. Otherwise, if you dont iron the ribbon...you have this crease on them...My husband is making me ribbon spool racks. Thanks for the idea though.

I made the "hips" nice and wide at the ends of the spool so you don't have to wrap them as tight as the store bought floss bobbins so they shouldn't wrinkle if you don't wrap them too tight and they will still stay on fine. Here is a tip, if you have a wrinkled ribbon hold each end and slide it over a light bulb (I have a halogen lamp on my desk that is supetr hot and great for this (just do it quickly if you have that kind of light) a regular 60 watt-100 watt lightbulb is fine too that way you don't need to heat up an iron For my spools of ribbon I have dowels hanging horozontally from the ceilling from lagre hooks (I craft in the basement so I screwed the dowels right to the floor joists) and each dowel holds 20-30 spools of ribbon. I'd love to see the spools hubby is making you

What a great idea....I just finished using the store bought ones on fibers last night. Maybe I'll try yours and I can have matching ribbon and fiber holders!!

way too cute!

I made something similar, but not as fancy. I wrapped a small piece of batting around the cardboard before I added the ribbon. No creases to worry about.

Very cute. Thanks for sharing.

I started doing this last night and I absolutly love it. Great way to keep all my ribbons by color together.

Wonderful template for storing ribbon except I don't have a cricut or that software.

thank you so much for sharing when I get to a printer I am going to print one for a template. I have ribbon everywhere, I think I cheat myself from so much creativity because I cannot see what I have. Right now it is all pressed into a shoe box and it is making it nuts. I can only move so much due to being paralyzed so things have to be right where I can reach them with no problems and without a lot of bending because I can only bend so far. So I hate the shoebox. Most of the time I do not even open it and when I get new ribbon I just toss it in there and never use. I am wanting DH to hang me a peg board. If he does so these rings will make it perfect to hang my ribbon, so thank you so much for sharing. You put a smile in my day. MY DH loves it when I come up with something else for him to do in my craft room. LOL
