Hey guys,

I blogged a while back about a great way to store your ribbon using these cool Ribbon Ring Tags.
Now Ribbon Ring offers these tags in a new JUMBO size.

They accommodate ribbon up to 2 inches wide and right now they are ON SALE!

Even if you don't have a lot of really wide you can hang four or five pieces of 3/8 inch ribbon side by side on these new tags. You can sort them by color or manufacturer - or however you want! How cool is that:

Right now, the bundle of 30 and bundle of 90 are on sale till March 8th. You can order them here.

I am also giving away a pack! Just post a comment here on how you store your ribbon right now, or what you like about these ribbon rings. You will be entered in the drawing to receive one promo package from Ribbon Rings free! :)

Winner will be drawn on Thursday, March 12th. Good luck! :) Thanks so much to Ribbon Ring for your generosity in providing the prize!

Cute Ribbon Storage - Ribbon Ring

I was going through an issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine today when I saw an ad in the back that peaked my interest...

I already have a ribbon storage system in place, but I was thinking for when I have a dedicated space for my studio - this would be a cute way to store ribbon:

The system consists of a plastic tab holder attached to a ring. The tab holds one or two ribbons, and the ring holds around sixty of these tags:



I can imagine a whole bunch of these rings decoratively hung, grouped by color... It would look so cute hanging in a room like that:



I am of the school "Out of Sight, Out of Mind"... If I can see it, I will use it. So this system would really work for me... Hmmm - maybe once our nomadic military life is over? :) These are really inexpensive too! I am tempted to get them and save them for my room later... :)

Anyway, I thought it was soooo cute so I thought I would share...

Ribbon Storage Bag

I have been wanting one of those super cute Pull-EZ ribbon storage bags by Your Pictured Memories.... Well I was browsing in Target and got an idea.

I found this adorable pink polka dotted lunch box and thought it would make a cute ribbon purse. So I put it in my basket, and about $7 later I was on my way home.

I ended up cutting out the lining inside (the plastic liner that insulates the lunchbox) and working with only the outer bag. I took my Making Memories Instant Setter and proceeded to punch holes all over the bag. The polka dotted pattern helped me keep the holes lined up. I think I punched around 100 or so holes. Holy cow this took some patience and creative placement of the bag. Thank goodness I decided to take the liner out...

Next, I took my ribbons and sorted them by color. I pulled the ends through the holes and voila:




And I still had holes to spare... :)
