Today I thought I would share a fun way to store your ribbons. I actually have two storage methods--0ne for ribbons that 1/2 wide and smaller and one for larger ribbons. For my smaller ribbons, I store them in my Cropper Hopper embellishment storage boxes. Some boxes will hold up to 5 yards of ribbon depending on the thickness of the ribbon. I love this method. Then they fit perfectly in my Scrap 'n Cube drawers. I have several drawers filled like this. Cropper Hopper makes a box that will fit these storage boxes also.
For the larger ribbons, I just roll them onto clothes pins and store them in a jar. They look so pretty sitting on my storage unit.
Please feel free to share a link to your ribbon storage in the comments section. I know we would love to see your ideas. Happy Scrapping!

I'm in envy of your great organizational skills. I wish I had the patience to do it. Maybe one day I will. Great idea with the larger ribbon in the jars, very cute.
Your new puppy is adorable. Did you name him yet?
Have fun with them, and I hope your girls are feeling better.
Oh So Pretty! Come and do mine please? Hehehe!
Love how you organized your ribbon. Mine is in a medium Sterilite drawer, not very pretty but it works for now.
I use ribbon ring tags. I stumbled across their website about a month ago and my ribbon has never been the same! (www.ribbonring.com) You thread your ribbon on a little plastic tag and then hang the tag on a metal ring. I bought my metal rings at Office Depot because the ones on the site only held 60 ribbons each. I have one ring for every color! I hang them on a coat rack behind my desk and I have found I am using my ribbon a lot more! I also hang my rub-on sheets on a big metal ring.
OMG I totally love how you store the ribbon on clothes pins! Mine are just kind of thrown in jars and look a mess. I'm going to get some wooding pins the next trip to the store. Thanks for the tip!
wonderful system! Everything is so "put together"! You can come over and do mine if you want. LOL!
These look great ! I love the clothes pin idea just like the Rusty Pickle Ribbons come ! I so need to do something with my loose ribbons that arent on rolls , nice !
Such great organisational ideas! Thanks for sharing them!
Oh wow ... that box of ribbons makes me soooo envious! :)
Thanks for sharing all your organization ideas! I recently found some CD racks that are working for me as ribbon storage:

This will work for me as long as I can keep my ribbon collection from taking over!!! :-)
