Ribbon storage hack

It's back to school tomorrow! Unfortunately, that means significantly less crafting time =( However, I did manage to do a quick project this afternoon that I thought I'd share with you quickly. Especially as it's more of a life hack rather than an artistic masterpiece.

This was an idea I saw from Pintrest - effective ribbon storage! Up until now, my rolls of ribbon have been in a box getting a bit tangled and this idea seemed to be an easy solution!


Post pliers treatment!
 All I did was find a wire coat hanger - I probably didn't choose the best one as it was quite thick to cut and was coated in white paint that flaked everywhere. I used a pair of pliers to untwist the top. Then, you can just put your rolls of ribbon on and twist the hanger back together again.

Now I can easily see which ribbons I have available to use in my scrapbooking and card making! It's hanging on the window latch in my craft room The bad news is, that hanger is now full so I'll either have to stop buying ribbon or find another coat hanger and make another one!

Complete with colourful ribbons!

So, it may be a while before I post any more craft updates, being back at school and all. But, I did make some cards that I'm rather proud of a few days ago, so when the recipients have got those I'll share them with you!
