Ribbon Storage- Several Options

I've looked around and tried a few different things. Each example has it's positives and negatives. You'll just have to look at the space you have and what would work best for you.

RAIN GUTTERS

Materials
White plastic gutter (4in x 10ft) from Home Depot $6.98 They also come in brown, $1 more I believe.
White end caps $5.78 (comes in a pair) Also in brown with added cost.
White vinyl hidden hanger $1.72

After you buy your gutter the nice people at Home Depot will cut it for free. I asked them to cut my gutter into 2ft sections. I ended up with five sections.

I also decorated mine using  black vinyl cut out on my Cricut. The nice thing about this set up is the ribbon can stay on the spools. You just need to pull out the length that you want. Here is a top view.

CONTAINERS/JARS

Here the ribbon is either left on the spools or taken off the spools and just fastened with rubber bands or safety pins.

DOLL PINS/CLOTHES PINS

Doll pins can be found in the wood section of the craft store. I have also heard some dollar stores carry them. Once the ribbon is wrapped around the pin, fasten the ribbon with a small pin. You can then store them in a decorative jar.

BYGEL WIRE BASKETS- IKEA

You can buy these from Ikea for $1.99 The person who used these baskets removed the hangers and used them for other projects (magazine holder attached to a wall or desk).  I have not made these myself, but they are a great sturdy option for ribbon or any storage for that matter. Here is a closer look.
