Remember the blanket rack turned ribbon holder I showed you guys a few months ago?
Yah. That lasted for about a minute until all four racks were smashed together and completely overwhelming. I have been racking my brain for weeks on a new solution.
I needed a system that was super organized, mobile, and capable of adding as I go.
Let me just start by saying this was NOT a quickie. The hubby was sick AND on-call, so it didn't make it feel so time consuming, but looking back I spent pretty much my whole weekend working on this.
I bought 5 matte boards at Hobby Lobby marked down to 1.00 each. {I originally bought three and halfway through the project realized I was definitely going to need more.}
Using a razor blade I cut it into 150 4x6" boards.
I took all the ribbons off their spools and began wrapping them around these 4x6" boards. I started by taping one end of the ribbon to the board and after the opposite end was completely wrapped I stuck a straight pin through it to keep it from coming loose.
Clearly, the ribbons must be color coordinated.
The drawers were then placed in the three drawer storage container that I had out in my storage shed {I know, I know.. How MUCH junk do I have out there!?!}
Total Cost: $5!
