Organizational {Friday} Save Space, Get the Ribbon off the Roll!

Several weeks ago, I shared my ribbon storage with you along with links to other storage ideas. Well, what I didn't share was that I had a couple of drawers full of ribbon rolls. I finally purchased more Cropper Hopper boxes and got the ribbon off of the rolls. Look at a drawer before I began: Now, look at the space I made in the drawer by putting all of those rolls into my Cropper Hopper boxes: If you look closely, you can see the three different sized Cropper Hopper boxes I use depending on my ribbon width. And yes, those rolls take up a lot more room than I realized. I also have tried storing my rolls on pant hangers like others have suggested but it never worked for me. So, from now on in my room, all rolls must go! LOL!

The specific Cropper Hopper boxes I use are:
Embellishment box (12 per package): my favorite size that I use the most of!
Mini Squared box (6 per package): love this size for my 1" ribbons; I use a fair amount of these.
Mini Cube box (4 per package): stores my larger ribbons; I don't need many of these.

**Please note: Cropper Hopper no longer manufacturers the Mini Squared or the Mini Cube boxes. However, I have found an alternative. You can see what I use now by clicking here. Thank you!

After sorting this ribbon and organizing it with my current ribbon drawers, here is what my ribbon storage looks like now: Isn't it just a beautiful rainbow? No wonder I am SO addicted! And I just love this storage method. It has worked for me for many, many years. I think this is the one storage method I have not changed because it works so well for me. Prior to getting my Scrap 'n Cube, I stored my ribbon just like this but in iris drawers. It works just as well.

Well, thanks for stopping by, and remember, if you have questions, please leave your e-mail address so that I can get back to you! Have a blessed Friday!
