Seriously how cool is THIS
I am in need of some organisation as
this is what my ribbon container looks like...
Plus I cleaned it up a little - haha
This is how I did it...
Step 3: Do the same to the 2nd rod
Looks cool huh??

I am in need of some organisation as
this is what my ribbon container looks like...
Plus I cleaned it up a little - haha
This is how I did it...
Materials:
Messy ribbon box
Plastic container with holes (I got mine from Howards Storage Shop - Australia, but I'm sure that the USA bloggers will find it easily)
Saw
Pile wood rode (need to measure the hole of the basket)
Step 1: Measure how long the rod needs to be.
I had mine stick out about 2 cm.
Step 2: Saw
Step 3: Do the same to the 2nd rod
Step 4: Stick the 1st rod through 1/4 of the way
Step 5: Start threading the ribbons on.
Step 6: When you get the the last one. Stick through the other end. Should look like the above picture.
Step 7: Pull the ribbons through the holes.
Step 8: Do the same to the 2nd Rod.
Because I could fit more ribbons on the rod then there were holes, I used the bottom row as well.
Looks cool huh??

Very cool! I think I saw something similar to this some where... maybe on Pintrest! It is a great idea!

This is just the best idea! I already have several of these baskets. Cool idea, why didn't I think of it?

I found you through TCB...great idea! Perfect for all the fabric ribbon, wrapping ribbon, yarn, etc jammed in my cabinets. I suppose if you used ribbon enough you could screw the basket up on a wall for easy access, or if the basket was relatively shallow, inside a closet or cabinet door. Might work too hung in the garage for a roll of trash bags and a roll of twine to wrap the newspapers. Thanks for the excellent step-by-step guide...your blog is very helpful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and easy idea! I've been trying to find an inexpensive way to organize my ribbon but this is way easier than anything I would have come up with :)
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS idea!! THANKS!!
