ribbon storage question

[LetteringMama]

Can anyone tell me where you buy those wooden clothespin type things you wrap your ribbon around? I have my ribbon in a ribbon bag with holes in it where the ribbon feeds through the holes and am finding my ribbon gets tangled up so need to change my system. I no longer have the spools the ribbon originally came on. I would appreciate suggestions. Also, do you know of a ribbon iron that works really well and is convenient to use without having to drag out the big old iron. Thank you.

I saw some at Michael's, but they are hit and miss with inventory. Try Etsy? I bet you could find some in the "supplies" category? Or maybe an online store?

I use ribbon rings that Sharon sells at Stamp Simply Ribbon store. They are perfect!! Here's a picture. And bonus -the girl who invented them lives right here in Oregon!!

Regarding the iron, I don't have a ribbon iron, but sometimes I run my ribbon across my lightbulb! Works like a charm!!

Letteringmama....I found this link about the clothespin from Nichole's blog. Great look. I have been thinking about giving this a try myself.
{capture the moment}: Ribbon Jar Nichole mentions that she gets the clothespins at the $1 store. However, this post was in 2008.

I did find this page with several options with good prices. Kmart is one.

I got mine at Dollar Tree.

Dollar tree here, too, but I kind of think they're a pain in the hiney. I only use them for shorter pieces of ribbon. The rest are left on their rolls.
