Organizing Ribbon. . .

Another rainy day and another day of sharing pictures from the Scrap Shack!


I love jars and baskets. . .as you will see as I share more pictures! The above picture is of my Canisters full of CTMH ribbon. . . I keep the different color families in each of the different canisters. This is not convenient if you are an "on the go" scrapper, but is sure does look cute! I do most of my crafting at home, so I like to be able to see my stuff and I like for it to look cute! The other canister is full of Glitter . . something I love! This is new to my room . . . .I needed a spot for my glitter and of course they look beautiful displayed!

This next picture is of locker baskets I picked up at a flea market on top of my metal cabinets. I absolutely LOVE the locker baskets!!! The first one is of all my Bulk Close to My Heart Ribbon. . . like to have it all in one spot, so I know exactly what I have. I have to keep my CTMH stuff and my other Scrapping supplies pretty much separate. . .it just works easier for me that way. And the other two locker baskets have some Halloween things I picked up at a Garage Sale. . .and the last one has Chipboard letters.


And this last picture is of some Other ribbon I have that I have wrapped around embroidery Floss bobbins. I picked these up at WM after my cousin Sara shared this tip with me. It is perfect for those of you who scrapbook away from home, because it is very easy to take with you!! AND it allows you to see what ribbons you have at a glance!



I read somewhere that it is easier to store things if you get rid of the packaging they come in. . . I know that the packaging is sometimes as cute as the product itself. . .but I have found for most of my embellishments this is true! Now to find a way to store all of my chipboard letters. . . this is something I have been thinking about for awhile, but I just don't know how to incorporate yet!

I have one more place I store ribbon, but I didn't have a picture of it for some reason. . . I will share it at a later date!
