I thought I'd mention this here as well as on my blog in the hopes that SCS members will find it helpful.
A couple of weeks ago on my blog, I mentioned a tutorial on storing narrower ribbon in empty Tic Tac containers.
Last week when we got off the island, I bought two four packs of Tic Tacs, and filled eight containers with ribbon.
Today, I got off the island again, and bought eight more. Here is a picture of what used to be sixteen spools of ribbon. They are all protected in the containers so they won't get dirty or unwind. They also take up very little space. Of course I need more containers, because I have a lot more ribbon, and a bunch of embellishments that would fit in those containers! The holly one near the center had a little bit too much ribbon, so I couldn't close the little snap top, but it's still protected and takes less space, so I don't mind.
Now we need to figure out a way to get Tic Tac to make some kind of candy and sell it in at least 1" wide containers so we can store wider ribbon!
