Storing reels of ribbon

[Mrs Cheshire]

My husband made me a rod out of a garden cane with brackets to hold it on and it's attached to my shelf. will take a picture when i'm home

Lots of ideas and love the innovative ideas you have all come up with. Thank you everyone especially for telling me where you got your items from. Now just need to decide which one to use

I bought a very cheap 'over the door' towel rail from Home and Bargain (£1.99) that has 4 removable rods. I just put the reels on the rod, then put it back in its holder and hang it over the door, out of the way. Works great for me. xxx

Mine are a friend of the last two, but mark II is the improved version!

Mark 1 was a 28p bit of dowel from B&Q with bubble wrap strip wound and taped in place to stop them falling off - one dowel eventually broke from too much tooing and froing between crop nights, and a pain when you run out or want to take a spool off.

Mark 2 also from B&Q ... a length of threaded bar, a pack of nuts for the size of bar and a pack of wide washers (i.e. not thick & still smallish hole but stick out lots). Put all the spools on then at each end do a nut/washer/nut combo to keep the spools on. I think each length of bar was about £1.50 (I have two of these from all my visits to Michaels!) and about 1m long, and I think the washers & nuts hovered around the £1 each a pack and still have quite a few of those left...

I use a box which contained a bouquet from www.moonpig.com....

Its about 4" square on the ends - but 2.5-3ft long and is ideal to hold round reels....

I got one of those pot lid rack holders from Ikea last year and turned on it's end and screwed it to the end of my unit and it holds quite a lot. Only cost around £5 if I remember correctly.

Here it is.......



Actually, I could really do with another one now I've got so many reels of ribbon

That's a fab idea! Wonder if I can claim the one in the kitchen for the craft rooom

I need to see more after that sneak peek of your craft area/room... please...

Some great ideas here! I think whatever I go for is going to have to hang off the back of my door. I love the pot rack idea but I've no where to put it!

I love seeing people's craft rooms - more pics please!
