My Ribbon Solution

[cjbapp]

I almost went and ordered a Ribbon Ring System...which is a great idea, but for enough to do my ribbons it would cost $30+. So...I remembered we had this no-longer-being-used Ikea stuff in the garage and I got it all put up.

I LOVE it...I put 3 ribbons on a clip, and I am still short about 30 clips, but I can have my DH pick them up next week.

Now maybe I will be able to find the right ribbons without getting a headache in the process! I only put up about a yard or so of the ones I have on spools...the spools are in clear bins so I can see what I have easily when one runs out on the clips.

This is very nice! I would love to do something similar except my cat would chew it all. Her favorite 'treat' is my ribbon scraps!

Very smart. I would do it but my 3 yr old would destroy it. She loves to unravel ribbon.

Same here...but one cat is 20 pounds and can only jump so high due to being gravity challenged...haha.... so I hung it up fairly high.

Our other cat is 14 and will not 'stoop' to playing with ribbons. LOL

very clever and it doubles as 'art work' for your space

GREAT IDEA! I love IKEA

IF I did that my cats and my one dog would be like "WOW a new toy"

I love this... but my first thought was "man the cat would have a blast with that"... I see I wasn't alone with that thought!

Love your idea. Thanks for sharing.

HA! My first thought was "cat toy" as well. I love the way they look, though! They will add beauty as well as organization to your stamping space. Great idea!

You system looks great and I can see the advantage of being able to see what you have. I always find the right ribbon AFTER the card is finished!:oops:

BUT, we are also a "Cat Family" and I could just imagine the mess we would have here once the little "darlings" see all the shiny, little "Pretties" just hanging there for their amusement! LOL:-D
