I had so much ribbon that I was starting to have a hard time sorting through all of the different spools to find what I wanted to use on my project.
I also love to get together with my friends to scrapbook and stamp. I found that my ribbon was really hard to transport.
Using some old cardstock, I just wrapped all of my ribbon around and secured them with masking tape. I found that masking tape will keep the ribbons secure.
Now I can transport my ribbon with out any problems!

I have mine the same way except I keep them in CD cases. I love that the CD cases keep the dust and grime off my ribbons It's great because my SIL gave me some old CD holders that fit on my desk perfectly! Now I can see my ribbon right in front of me!
