Ribbon storage
I used photo boxes from a craft store that you can usually find on sale for $1.99 ea. I drilled holes and hot glued large eyelet/grommets in and then thread the ribbon through. I'm still trying to find the best way to secure the ribbon rolls on the inside to allow for changing out empty spools. I think I may just go with a dowel cut to length the slides down into notches made on the inside of each end. It works great though and I like having it on display so I can hold up a project and match the ribbon up if I want. In the picture You'll see the purple ribbon boxes in the window. My scraps are in a tall vase beside the shelf in the window. I just throw them all in there and before cutting a new strip I look there first.
