1. Clip it up! Ribbon Organizer Makes Crafting Easier

   
   By Ashley Newell

   On installation, the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer was assembled and ready to install out of the box. It was lightweight and easy to remove. The directions were very helpful, using pictures and text to make the installation easy and fast. The Clip It Up! came with anchors and screws to install; however, as a personal preference for hanging pictures and items in my house, I used Hercules Hooks. It was easy to align the markings to hang the Clip It Up! because it has a sliding feature to install at different points. After installation, there is a plastic piece used to cover the screws, which I thought was a very special addition for a sleek appearance. Next, I added the clips and it was completely installed within 15 minutes and not a lot of hard work, sweat, or tears.
   
   On usability, the Clip It Up! holds 49 spools of ribbon that are mostly 5/8” along with some ½” and 3/8” spools as well. I was very pleased with the amount of ribbon it held. I own a lot of ribbon and it holds almost all of my collection. The part I like the best is the ability to hold my fabric scissors so it is always available when I need to cut some ribbon. I also like the clips to hold smaller pieces of ribbon, which helps reduce waste. There are a lot of clips, which can also hold other small items. The Clip It Up! also comes with a sticker to apply to assist when measuring ribbon. They thought of everything!
   
   Since redesigning a new paper crafting studio, I was looking for something to organize my ribbon better, and the Clip It Up! was the perfect addition to my new room. It fits perfectly above a workspace and also shows off all a beautiful ribbon collection. Since the ribbon collection is in plain view, it helps me to determine what ribbon I may be out of or low on that will need to be replenished. So, Clip It Up!, organize your ribbon collection, and make life easier!

2. Ultimate Ribbon Organizer

   
   By Rose Ann Reynolds

   I love having a lot of ribbon choices, and it's even better when it is organized and easy to access. I have used different types of organizers in the past, and after trying the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organize, this is by far my favorite!
   
   Installation was very quick and easy, as I used Hercules Hooks suggested by another reviewer on the team (thanks Ashley!).
   
   I love how this organizer holds more ribbon than any other I've tried, and the gutter-style design makes it so easy to use! The extras are truly a bonus: 1) Rod and clips to hang ribbon scraps 2) Scissor holders so you can keep your scissors right where you need them 3) Sliding tension divider to secure ribbon spools 4) Measuring guides so you can clip off just the right length of ribbon.
   
   I chose to clip up my ribbon combo packets to the lower rod on the unit, rather than ribbon scraps. Because these are a bit heavier than scraps, the rod is a little stressed. Perhaps a redesign with a support in the center of the rod would be something to consider. I am also concerned about exposure of the ribbon to my 'dust bunnies', and I'm trying to come up with an idea for keeping everything covered when I'm not crafting.
   
   Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer, I only wish it would have been available a long time ago.

3. Well-designed Ribbon Storage System

   
   By Mary Brown

   One day I was looking at the mess of ribbon on my stamping desk and I thought how I REALLY needed to get my dear husband to make me a different type of ribbon holder (he made the one I had been using). I was thinking how it would be SOO nice to have it where the rolls of ribbon would sit in a shelf so that I could pull to cut it or remove it so that I could do a lot of cutting for my classes. I also thought how nice it would be if I could figure out something to do with all my scraps instead of just throwing them in a basket. Now, I'm REALLY not making this up. Later that day, Lori told us we would be reviewing the Clip It Up! ribbon storage system. WOW!!! Now how awesome could that be!
   
   I had to deal with two problems when it arrived. One was finding a place to hang it. Unfortunately I couldn't put it where I stamp because of the size. Honestly, it was larger then I thought it would be. But I did find a perfect place for it! Then the next problem was getting my dear husband to hang it. As some of us were chatting about this, one of our team (Hi Ashley!) mentioned she used Hercules Hooks (found mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond) and it was quick and easy. OH MY WORD...HOW TRUE...HOW TRUE!!! It took longer for me to find where my dear husband hid the level then it did for me to install it. QUICK AND EASY!
   
   My favorite features of this system is that the ribbon is SO accessible! You lay the spools in the gutter (yes, it is a gutter...being the daughter of a roofer this I do know...it is a gutter) and you thread the ends of the ribbon under a metal rod. You receive decals to put on the front so that you can measure the ribbon right there! Now the ruler doesn't have numbers but just hash marks but it does work. There are even places on the side to put your scissors so everything is in one place!
   
   If you are a true ribbon fanatic, one will NOT be enough. Trust me on this, too! It is a GREAT system for storing and accessing both your rolls of ribbon and those scraps that seem to duplicate like guppies on your desk top!
   
   Definitely go with the Hercules Hooks if you want a quick and easy way to install. The Clip It Up! does come with screws if you want to use those

4. Smart Ribbon Solution

   
   By Jeni Allen

   I was so excited to see this great ribbon organizer! The concept of having around 40 spools of ribbon waiting on the wall to be used is so great! I love that the design of the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer allows you to first and foremost see your ribbon. I am a firm believer that if I'm going to use something it needs to be close to my workspace and I need to be able to see it (or else I might forget that it is there). Because organizing ribbon tends to be such a common problem for papercrafters of all types, this product will be a great addition to organization solutions.
   
   The smart design of the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer allows you to either cut the ribbon off the spool and utilize the ruler-like stickers that can be placed on the body of the organizer and leave it neatly in its place in the organizer or you can take the spool out of the organizer use it and then have a place all ready for your spool to go home to. I love that my ribbon will stay nice and organized and each spool will have a home. No more tangled mess to sort through! Yea for the Clip It Up!

5. Fabulously Functional

   
   By Angel Wilde

   The top shelf of my craft room closet holds 13 clear plastic shoe boxes. That's one for every color of ribbon I own. It's effective, but not productive. Sometimes it's impossible for me to find the perfect ribbon for a project. And sometimes it's just too much trouble.
   
   When the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer arrived on my doorstep, I was beside myself excited. The instructions were easy to follow and with the necessary hardware included in the package, it took only a few minutes to get it mounted on the wall above my desk. It took a little longer to decide which ribbons I would actually put inside the organizer. In the end, 53 of my ribbon rolls fit inside and 40 additional lengths were "clipped up". Simply Renee thought of everything when she included the built-in scissor caddy and 1 foot measuring stickers to aid in ribbon cutting. I love these aspects.
   
   For me there were a few downsides. The first - only a fraction of my ribbons actually fit into the organizer and it does not appear to be expandable. But, most of my favorites are nicely within arms reach. Secondly, the metal clips marred my ribbon lengths by leaving teeth marks. My solution? I'll be wrapping those pieces around cardboard from here on out.
   
   I love organizing tools and storage solutions and the Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer does not disappoint. It's fabulously functional. With my ribbon more accessible and right at my fingertips, I am already using it more often!
   

6. Tame Your Ribbon Collection

   
   By Beate Johns

   With all the pretty ribbon around, it's easy to pick up a few spools here and there. Before you know it, though, you're stashing it in drawers, on shelves, and out of sight. . . . and going back to the store to get more instead of digging through what you have to find the right ribbon. The Clip It Up! Ribbon Organizer helped this ribbon hoarder be a ribbon user again. By storing frequently reached for ribbon right above a work surface, it's easy to see what I have so I will actually use it.
   
   Right out of the box, the Ribbon Organizer was ready to go. I added two of the three provided measurement decals to the outside, filled it with spools of ribbon and my special ribbon scissors, and that was that. Since wall space is at a premium in my crafting area, I placed it over a large shelving unit in my stamp room. Once I can rearrange again, it will be mounted under my shelves and used as it was intended. I think it works even like this, but am excited at the prospect of hanging it up, getting packages of embellishments out into the open where I can see them, and using my ribbon.
   
   One thing to think about when considering a Ribbon Organizer of your own: If you have lots of spools of ribbon, you may want to get a few of these for your collection. It comfortably stores and displays many rolls, but hardly made a dent in my collection. I'm going to need another one (or two), and am sure it will be worth the investment and look fabulous on my stamp room wall, too!
