She uses it for jewelry, but it is perfect for ribbon, and toss buttons in the bottom. I havd way too many buttons! Its juzt a shoebox and pencils to make the organizer, and you could tailor it to what size ribbon you have [link to m.instructables.com] |

Quoting: Pooch I do just that. :-) *********** WaterLily *********** " Do I dare Disturb the universe?" -- T. S. Elliot, Love Song of J.

How do you manage your spools of thread? I tried stringing them on chopsticks and that sort of helped, but mostly they are wild in the bin. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1048318 Actually, I just posted this article, I don't have a good solution for spools either, except those peg things. I have a lot of spools in a couple of those clear plastic parts boxes with the moveable partitions, and that is the best I have come up with. They are a lot cheaper at the hardware store than the sewing store. *********** WaterLily *********** " Do I dare Disturb the universe?" -- T. S. Elliot, Love Song of J.
