Ribbon storage is a must if you are a scrapbooker or crafter. But it doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to organize your ribbon collection. In addition to available ribbon storage, below are some unconventional ideas that you may already have around your home.
- I sort my ribbons into tackle boxes, easy to grab and see the assortment of ribbons. Sort by color or type for ease of use.
- Keep your smallest scrap pieces in canning or storage jars. The variety of colors and pattern usually make for a nice display on a wall shelf or bookcase.
- Thread the ribbon spools upright on a paper towl holder.
- Use a small tension rod between bookcase shelves or a wall shelf.
- Try a slack hanger that has multiple tiers. They are made with open ends so it is easy to slide the spools on and off as needed.
- Check out CD racks. Some of the smaller ones would be perfect. They seem to be just the right size for holding spools, there is no dowel to deal with and you can access them easily.

An embellishment organizer is THE answer to organizing your collection. If you scrapbook or do other crafts that require small items then you know the importance of keeping everything organized.

Here are my current favorites:
Embellishments add such a quality to any scrapbook page. But don't let the amount of embellishments available today intimidate you, simply organize them from the beginning. Choose the right size organizer for your collection but always leave some extra space for growth.

Pen Storage That Will Keep Your Creativity Flowing

Pen Storage Ideas and Products
- Acrylic Cubes - These are available at local office supply stores and are my personal favorite as I like to keep my pens horizontal
- Crop in Style - Pen Caddy - Holds up to 75 pens! It can also be folded flat for storage great for saving space! For the serious scrapper this is the way to go.
- Lazy Susan - Keep your most frequently used pens or those for current pages or projects on your desktop using a lazy susan. It is easy to switch out, takes up little space, and can double as a tool holder.
- Flower pot, vases, or old glasses - Anything interesting around your house can be used to keep your pen collection at bay. You can get a few of each and separate by color or type. It can add for a nice display of color if you have the extra space on a shelf or bookcase.
