That brings me to today. I'm tired of storing my ribbon in drawers, shoe boxes and other containers, so I made myself a handy dandy ribbon holder.
Ready?
You need a piece of wood (I used an 11x14 unfinished wood plaque), some dowels (make sure they will fit through the centers of your ribbon spools), a drill and some paint ~ if you wish
Mark off on your wood, where you want each dowel to go (space them out using your spools of ribbon). Drill a hole in each spot the making sure the holes are the same diameter of your dowels.
Then if you want, prime and paint the board and the dowels, but be careful not to fill your holes up with paint!
When it is all dry, drop some wood glue into the holes and put in your dowels. I used a rubber mallet to make sure they were in tight. Check to see if they are straight (some of my dowels had a little curve to them, but for the most part they ended up straight ☺) Then, let it dry.
Once it's dry, add your ribbon and VOILA ~ easy peasy, handy dandy, ribbon storage!
