Recently I posted on facebook that if anybody wanted to TRUST me I would do a little RIBBON SHOPPING for them. There is this store about 1/2 hour from me that has some of the most pretty ribbon and it is only $1.00 A YARD.....
I had a few girls take me up on the offer so a SHOPPING I WENT....I think I pretty much clean the store out. It isn't a ribbon store, so I took a lot of their inventory...No need to worry the clerk told me though because they are placing a new order soon............CAN WAIT TO SEE THE NEW STUFF...
ANYHOO.........as much as I LOVE RIBBON, I love to package things up kind of pretty (smile)...so I decided first since they allowed me to be their shopper of 10 yards - which I through in a few more ribbons I wanted to package them using the RIBBON SPOOL SET from The Cutting Cafe...
I started with this: - I took the front of the SPOOL BOX and enlarged it to 10 inches.
I cut them out first in chipboard then I covered the fronts and backs with the pattern paper.
Next I just started wrapping the assorted ribbons on the spool:
I also added the I LOVE TO CREATE circle tag from the Cutting Cafe.
Then I just topped it off with a mini wooden spool that I think I got from Michael's. I have been buying lots of pretty fabric lately - I just cut the fabric in strips and wrapped around the spools. A little something some of you may not know - I use to back in the day have a business in which I made fabric stickers and fabric ribbon hence why my email address is fabriccutups@prodigy.net....at the very bottom of this post is a card I did a long time ago using some of my FABRIC CUTUPS...hum maybe I will bring that business back...(smile)
I still have a few more to wrap, but for now the ones that are done are sitting in this cute little tin basket I bought from Marshall's.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO I am in the RAK MOOD......if you would like the LARGE RIBBON SPOOL,

Hey, Regina, I need one of those for sure. My ribbon is in boxes and I can't see what I have.
This is an awesome way to store ribbon.
Oh my goodness this is so sweet of you. I love the way you are storing your ribbon. The spools would be great for a lace or ribbon book. Thank you so much for the free cut.
You are always so clever. Very cute idea to send the gals their ribbon. I sure like that dig circle!
