Ribbon Storage Box

Ribbon Storage Box

Ribbon is a popular item for scrapbooking and cardmaking, but how do you keep it organized and accessible? How about a ribbon dispenser...made with a photo box and eyelets.

What you need

Paper mache photo box
Dritz extra large eyelets
Craft knife

Instructions

Measure and mark where you want your eyelets to go. I placed mine right next to each other so that I could fit a lot of them, please see pictures.

Cut holes with a craft knife or punch (I traced the eyelets and cut them out with a craft knife).

Place eyelets inside holes and set with tool supplied inside the eyelet package, using a hammer.

Place ribbon rolls inside and begin enjoying your new dispenser!

  9. Wonderful idea. Great work.

  10. awesome idea it is cool how it is all threaded thru like that i like the fact that it has pictures and it is informative it is cool the way it is designed and how it looks i am so going to try and make one of these it is so COOL thx for making it =)

  11. I would have put the holes both sides so they don’t overlap each other and tangle

  12. Really great idea and teaches children organizing skills

  13. super!!

  14. Cool!!

  15. A GREAT INNOVATIVE AND BEAUTIFUL WAY OF STORING RIBBONS…

  16. This is an answer to my prayers,oh! and i`ve got everything I need in my craft room. So no need to spend any money!

  17. I like this project it is fantastic,when you don’t have a lot of space you can stock the box any where, and you can still, see your ribbons.Thanks I just love it

  18. I’ve been looking for a way to control my ribbon. YEAH!!!!!!

  19. very help ful thank you!

  20. love it, can not wait to make it

  21. Love this!

  22. very helpful craft. pretty creative 🙂

  23. I`m going to do that in my wool shop to keep the baby ribbon spools tidy – Thanks

  24. I have too many ribbons for this. I use ribbon rings instead. They are little tags that ribbon hangs on and then you hang the tags on a ring and hang the ring on a coat hook. I can hang 50 tags on one ring. I saw them in Ck magazine.

  25. Awesome….just what I have been looking for….I am going to do this for my large and growing ribbon collection. Thanks!!!!

  26. I thought this was an awesome idea!! I made on for myself and then I had to make on for my Sister-in-law for her birthday!!

  27. I prefer the ribbon box where the holes are all over.You can store more ribbon including small hanks.

  28. I have to say that is really a great idea. I work with lots of ribbon and it is always tangled. going to five this a try, thanks

  29. awesome idea!!! it even looks cute!

  30. this is a great idea, i havnt got that many ribbons yet but when they all start getting tangled i might use one of these

  31. What a great idea! I just started cardmaking, and I used the dowel method for my ribbons, but quickly filled it up. Question.. don’t the rolls get tangled up as used?

  32. great idea! Perfect for craft projects!

  39. What a GREAT idea! Everything in one convenient place where you can see it all at once, and no tangles!
