3. Clear Plastic Bins – These boxes are perfect for storing ribbons while keeping them visible. You can stack the bins for efficient storage and easily see what colors and patterns you have.

13- Spools and Dowels in a Basket

I needed a storage system that provided easy access to all my ribbon and something convenient to grab and transfer to the kitchen table, since that is where most of my crafting takes place. This ribbon organization idea I came up with fits the bill. (And speaking of bills, this system only costs about $15!)

14- Long Nail Spool Holder

Take a trip to the hardware store and grab a 6″ galvanized nail. Spools slide easily on the nail and then sit nicely on a desk or tabletop.
