Well I am working on getting my sewing room and studio area organized. One of the mediums I work with is ribbon so I have spools and spools of ribbon. Some of it is not on spools, some is on 100 yard spools, some on 50, some on 20, some on 9 or 5 yard spools. Some is plain, some printed, some dots. How to organize this? I have read and lusted over several solutions that would work nicely but I had neither the talent to built or the money to buy those I found.
Well today I worked on what I believe to be a solution to my problem (or at least 1/2 my problem). I purchased a self supporting shoe rack (from Lowes I think) and have arranged the rods to hold my 100 and 50 yard rolls on the rods. The smaller rolls I have had to construct slings to hang from the rods to cradle all those various sizes with and without cores. I have 2 more slings to stitch up and tomorrow I can load it up and let you know how it works. I might even post a photo…if I can figure out how!

Hi, MommaOh!
My ribbon collection must be smaller than yours, because I “organize” it by stuffing it in clear plastic boxes. Except for the ones that are currently draped over the ironing board. Hmm, note to self, “Go clean up crafting area.”
Does that note to self include a reminder ribbon tied around your finger? Thanks for viewing STL Mom!
