Recently when organizing my craft closet, I used a tip from Real Simple magazine to put all of my ribbon spools on wire hangers. It worked perfectly... except that I was left with a box full of ribbon pieces not on a spool. I'm always buying ribbon by the yard and way OVER estimating how much I'll need or receiving cute ribbons on gifts. I hate to throw it away and can always use it for crafts, scrapbooking, gift wrapping, etc.... but need an organized way to keep it.
10 ways to reuse a formula can:
#3 Ribbon Dispenser
Gather your materials:
clean empty can with flexible plastic lid, knife, spare ribbon pieces
Cut various lengths of small slits in the lid of your container.
Fill can with spare ribbon pieces leaving one end hanging over the can.
Poke each ribbon piece through the slits leaving just a small length of ribbon showing.
Reattach the lid on the container.
