I love to organize...anything from kitchen utensils to closets. A great organizational bin, basket or book really excites me. One thing that I need to organize constantly is my craft room...it will be neat one minute and then a total mess the next! I have so much ribbon...in so many nooks and crannies.
Well, I found a great way to store ribbon that actually HOLDS UP!!! I have had the cardboard box holders with the hole for the ribbon to the poles that you slip the ribbon on...they break or get crushed! I found these sturdy ribbon plastic boxes that stack, sturdy and hold a lot of ribbon. It even comes with dividers if you really want to be an organized "freak"! 
I found these at the Container Store! Ours just opened this weekend! As I walked in, shocks of excitement were going through my body...it's a wonder world of every type of organizational "tool" you can imagine!!! They have the best stocking stuffers!
This ribbon holder Works For Me and so does a trip to the container store!

I love this. Now I really wish that we had a container store.
I have my ribbon on wooden dowels and they always come unraveled, it makes me really mad. I have to remember to tape the ends, but that can be annoying too.
I organized my craft room today...Out with summer and Fall -In with Christmas! I could really use this little ribbon organizer you got~Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
So great Sandy. Love the ribbon ideas. Really nice. Thanks for all the great tips.
Yes, I am gonna have to have that ribbon organizer. I have never purchased the other type, and I am glad that I didn't. Thanks for the tip!!
Ohhh that's so exciting! I love organization, haha! I'm such a dork! Now that I'm getting more ribbon too, I think I need that :)
I have to stay organized also. I am not a crafty person so I don't have things like ribbon to keep organized. I wish we had an organization store around here.
Shocks of excitement!!! LOL!
That container store sounds fun... I promise to contain myself :-D
thank you SO MUCH for posting this now...Zach is back in America and I am going to have him get me one of these while he is there...thanks!!!
I've never heard of one of those stores, but I would be one of their best customers. I want a ribbon container.
Hugs,
Chris
That's a really good tip! Just in time for all that Christmas wrapping!
What a great little storage container.....I hate when the ribbon gets all tangled up and a mess!! I will definitely look into one these....thanks for the tip!!

Talk about a neat little gadget! Unfortunately, we don't have a Container Store around our neck of the woods. Would you believe that I've never even heard of one? I do have lots of ribbon, though, so your little organizer would work wonders for me!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! :) Check out my blog...you've won an award!
I would need about 20 of those for my unhealthy ribbon obsession! Have a great day.
Love and hugs

(Do you know if there is one in Michigan?)
Great idea! But I wouldn't need one....I'm so not crafty. I love to be organized though! :) Ang
How wonderful. I have mine kinda organized in a drawer....I love the container store. It is disney world for me. We don't have one near us, but when I get to one, I just love it. ;)
I love this... much more tidy than the other ribbon holders I have seen. No container store here but it is always on my list of places to go when I am in Atlanta.
I need one of those! We don't have a container store though...guess I'll have to look online!

I need you to come to my house....just for a day. Please! I will feed you and hug you and even let you swing in my goat, I mean, porch swing. :)
I LOVE the Container Store! And wish I lived near one!
I'm dying to get my craft things organized - but our house was on the market this summer/fall and I had to empty my closets - so my craft things went to 3 different friend's garages (and I got used to the empty space!) But since seing all of your crafty things on your blog, I can't wait to get my hands on my "stuff" again! :-)
My fondest memory of the container store was when I was about to go to college and my mom took me there to get stuff to make my tiny dorm room more functional....it was WAY too much fun.
I would buy one of those just to have a reason to buy ribbon. I too, love to be organized and would go crazy in that store!
Oh! I love it! I could go broke shopping at the container store!!
I love ribbon.
Fun way to store it..
We don't have a container store.. : (
LOVE it!! I really need to do that because I ribbon EVERYWHERE!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
I'm just wishing I had a craft room. This makes me want one even more.
That is so nice! I would love to go to that store!!!
Very nice. :) I try to be organized but things seem to get undone one step faster than I can keep the done. DOes that make sense??
Did you hear the angels sing when you walked in the front door? I know I do when I find a new store that makes my life easier! Also tell me how you use Thousand Island on your taco salad. I like that kind of dressing but never thought to put it with taco's.
I have SO been eye-balling one of these at Michael's. Unfortunately, we don't have a Container Store near by, so I was thinking of buy the one Martha makes...really cute and totally organized...love it!
That is so freakin awesome!!!!! Thank you for sharing, i have to go get one ASAP!!! (I am a ribbon junkie)
I really need one of those!
Oh, I love this. Makes me feel better just to look at the organization. :) Now all I need is a craft room to put that in! :)
Carrie
Jealous much, I wish we had a container store near us...
Oh, that is a terrific idea! Ribbon is one thing that is hard to store in a organized way. Now for the container store...we have a Storables nearby, but I don't know about a container one. :)
Have a wonderful day! :)
Thanks for sharing. Does it hold all sizes of ribbon bolts? That's the problem I've encountered one container will hold one size, but not another?
i wish i could get organized!!! my brain just won't let me...
Funny you mentioned Container Store! I'm on my way there as soon as I reclaim my laundry room. Right now it's a station for taking down Fall and will be soon ready to be my Christmas dec station. It is in major need of an overhaul!
Very cool idea! Gosh I love that store!

Fabulous! I wish I had a container store to visit!!
I LOVE that ribbon organizer. I don't know of any container store anywhere around but I am sure going to keep my eyes open at other stores for something like this. I have got to get something for my ribbons too!
I'm kind of an organizing junkie myself. Thanks for the idea.
I'm a freakin organizer, I mean an organizer freak. I need one of those!
The Container Store is one of my favorites!
Im a Ribbon Lover--
657 spools and counting !
I use it for EVERYTHING---
Killer Christmas Bows :D
So. jealous. We had a container-type store years ago, and it closed. This was before my obsession started. I want one of these. Pout.
Good idea...I have one on a smaller scale, it isn't working for me anymore. I'll have to rethink my organinizing. Take care!
That is fantastic. Soooo pretty.
I covet your organization! ;)
I love being organized!
I've heard of this store but have never been in one! Now I need to! They talk about it all the time on one of my favorite shows, Clean House! Great organizational skills!
Those are nifty!
Oh my, I'd love to visit a container store. That is my idea of heaven! I am glad you found something that works for your collection. I don't have quite enough ribbon to warrant an organization tool, but I'm working on it!
(We are free anytime to come down for a visit!) Ok-Container Store, and Hobby Lobby-I don't have one of those either, and I think I need to visit one because everyone with a blog seems to mention it...Let's see-we can't come during Thanksgiving, but any other one will do!
Oooohhh...I love that...would be perfect for my schoolhouse scraproom!
Ooo, I likey! I'm into all things organizational too. I recently got a ribbon holder as an impromtu gift from my husband, but I had just run out of ribbon after a big project. Can't wait to try it out! (although I think yours looks better.)
Great idea! I've heard of this before but have never known anyone who tried them.

Well that's a handy little gadget! I get their magazines...but no store nearby :(
That's neat! Is it a complicated gadget or could you have made it yourself? (You don't need to answer) I do like the container store.
That's great!
~Susan
I have not made it over there yet...I was at Kenwood on Saturday and it was a Mad House! I'm so glad you left me a comment! I love finding new Cincy blogs!
Look at all your darling ribbon! And to have a nice way to organize it just looks super! :o)
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
