Fishing For Ribbon Storage

Hey, everyone!

Do you like ribbon? I know I do! I love to look at it, shop for it, use it and KEEP IT! What's wrong with that? Well, there's just this little issue of where to put it all! I have been organizing and decluttering my craft space for a while now. I have used a lot of storage units for my ribbon but it still got wrinkled or knocked out of the basket or something! Remember I have two kids, 8 and 2... my 8 year old likes to use Mommy's things and my 2 year old thinks it's fun to roll them down the hall like tires to see the trails of ribbon left behind! Oh the fun times! LOL

I have finally found a really great solution, though! Where did I find it? The fishing section at Walmart! LOL You know I love to look at tackle boxes, right? Well, I do! All that storage! It's awesome! So I was just having a field day looking at these containers when my daughter says to her dad, "I can't believe Mom is looking at tackle boxes!" Of course, I am not going to FISH, I was just looking for ideas to store my scrapbooking and stamping supplies. Look what I found:
Isn't this great? I just popped out the little black pieces for fishing line and it works perfectly! Here is a link for it: Plano® Line Spool Box and I only need 4 more to hold all my ribbon! For all of you who would need WAY more than 5 of these boxes total to hold your ribbon, be sure to leave me a comment so I can show them to my husband! LOL I want him to see that I don't have as much ribbon as he thinks!

Thanks for hanging out with me today!

Angel Hugs,

I have to admit that I would need 12 boxes. I have three full drawers of ribbon.
