Spools Up!

I saw this little idea over at sewmanyways.blogspot.com and had to try it. It was a process, but I couldn't be more pleased with the results! With a little help from my favorite photographer's table saw, I was able to get all my cuts made and assemble the cutest way to store my thread! UP and out of the way!

Ribbons on a Rod

Rolls of ribbon wrapped 'round a rod

This was probably one of the easiest fixes I've ever done. I saw it done somewhere else and thought, "Where has this idea been all my life?" A few simple tension rods under the stairway and I was able to store all my ribbons in an out-of-the-way but accessible spot. Sorting them by color even adds visual appeal! I use stick pins to keep the ribbon in place. When I need a bit of ribbon, I just roll a section off and cut it! Easy as pie!
