I wasn't sure what category to put this under, but wanted to share! I got the idea from my new issue of Scrapbooks, Etc. to store ribbon that is less than 1 yard on these bobbins in a floss caddy! These 2 hold most of my American Craft Elements ribbons.....a LOT of it! One of these $2 caddy's holds almost $200 (retail) of this ribbon! And they stack nicely on top of my desk and take SO much less space! And they're clear, so you can see all the patterns you have w/o having to hunt and dig!

I bought mine at my *favorite* Hobby Lobby.....I would say anywhere that sells the embroidery floss will carry the cases. I picked up one more today to finish the rest of my non SU! ribbons! =)

I do this too and it doesn't crease as long as it is not wound too tightly. I agree...it is a great way to see what you have and it hardly takes up any space!

I checked earlier and the "bobbin ribbon" from Michaels that's like 99 cents and comes in a tiny roll fits perfectly in the cases. I'm totally going to put mine in there and then save the empty bobbins and use them for other ribbon.

So cool, great tip about the light blub, I just love this site, always learning something new. -- Can i come over and borrow a piece of ribbonn? Wish i could we'd have a blast, you could help me organize mine.
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
