When I reorganized my scrap room last year, I devoted one drawer in my Crop In Style unit to Ribbons & Punches. I don't have a large amount of either so they fit nicely. The down side to this solution is that the drawer is getting full and I'll often forget about the ribbon while working on a project because it is out of sight.
When I received an email on April Fools' Day asking if I'd be interested in trying the Ribbon Ring, I about fell out of my chair. My second reaction was wondering who was playing a joke on me. Deciding maybe it was just my lucky day, I responded with an enthusiastic "Yes!" And today, I found a package in my mailbox from the kind folks at Ribbon Ring.
Instead of hiding in a drawer, my colorful ribbons are now hanging next to my desk where I can easily grab one for a project. The package came with a 2" binder ring, (30) ribbon tags & (30) inventory dots.
The tags are approximately 1-1/2" wide x 2" tall with 1" wide openings. As you can see from the photo on the right - (2) American Crafts ribbons easily fit side by side. I put most of the ribbon I had in my drawer onto the Ribbon Ring and still have tags available.
Threading the ribbon onto the tags was very simple. Chester had fun "helping" me with it (ie, batting at the ribbon ends as I pulled them through). Thankfully he quickly lost interest and I think my ribbons are now safe. ;)
Rather than keeping all of the fun to Chester & me, I'm going to have a giveaway. I have a box sitting here filling up with scrapping goodies for one of my lucky readers. And it will include a Ribbon Ring starter kit courtesy of Ribbon Ring. Many thanks to MB!
For your chance to win, simply leave me a comment on this post between now and 9pm ET Sunday night. Best of luck!
ETA: We have a winner! :)
10 Die Cut Files For Christmas

oooh!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any pretty ribbon like that, but I do have several spools of ribbon around here, which I do use for crafting.. I think I even posted a pic of one of my crafts a couple months back.
Oh Wow I thought it was a joke as well :)
ReplyDeleteI deleted the email, oh well my loss :)

Very pretty the ribbon ring, here it would make a great cat toy, love how organized u are.
ReplyDeleteSarah, Congratulations, that is a great idea, for ribbon storage. I know what you mean about having them out of sight. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeletegot one of those as a sample when she first start selling these! I thought it was a great idea. THEN kinda forgot about it! Thanks for the reminder!!! Shirl
ReplyDeleteWell how cool was that for them to send you one and even cooler that they sent you one to give away. I haven't seen any of these anywhere around here but think it's a great idea (for cat free homes of course, LOL). I used to have a terrible time putting ribbons on Christmas packages because Jeremy's cat would chew them right back off, she loved that curly ribbon. Finally gave up using them because I was afraid she's swallow it and make her sick. Was very sad this holiday when I realized I could use them again because she had passed away.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Sarah!And lucky you .
ReplyDeleteVery Cool! Glad you took the chance on saying yes! Great way to show them off.

I love the Ribbon Ring idea! I have seen it in a couple different places but didn't know the official name & site! Thanks for listing those for us! (Keeping my fingers crossed for the give-away!)

How cool is that! I'd love a chance to win, as my organization of ribbon is definitely one of my biggest weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteWow, how pretty that looks displayed. I have my ribbon wrapped around wooden clothespins and put in a glass jar. I still have issues with that because my jar isn't big enough for all my ribbon and they keep unraveling. I started to put common pins in them and now I pick myself while rummaging through the jar. I NEED one of these ribbon rings. Thanks for offering one up for blog candy.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It looks awesome! I have mine hanging up too, and I find I use it a lot more than when it was in drawers :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMy ribbon is still on the spools in a litle basket that is tucked away and OUT OF SIGHT! Therefore I don't know what I have. Thanks for the chance to win.

What a great idea for all the loose ribbon that we have laying around. So nice of them to send you one Sarah. It would work well in my new scrap room (if I ever get it finished, that is...lol). Now, I'm going to check out your scraproom.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sarah! The ring looks pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very cool. I appreciate the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteI love the ribbon ring- what a great organizational tool! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteOooo, I'd love one of these! It'd be GREAT to actually SEE my ribbon instead of it being stored away. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOooooh and Aaaaaah...to be organized...dare I dream? LOL This ribbon ring sure does sound like it could be that infamous step in the right direction....
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to not only try the product out but then share with us your thoughts and ideas!
Very cool! You are so lucky! Love the way that looks!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was a organized as you. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteSara
I have all my spools in a gutter hanging on the wall. This would be perfect for all my smaller peices. Thaks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWOW...how FUN is that! That looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us and thanks for sharing!
great review of the ribbon ring. Ribbon is a source of such frustration. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a neat invention!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to organize ribbon for sure!
Very cool design. I've been wanting to try one for a while now. At the moment my ribbons are all just shoved in a ziplock. Not the easiest to work with.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty idea for storing ribbons!

Great blog! I love your scrap space - you are incredibly organized. Now I have to go look for (1) ribbon rings, (2) PBkids art caddy, (3) rubbermaid photo boxes. I had no idea they made such a thing. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteWow, Sarah, those are so awesome! I love how you can see all of the ribbon you have so easily. I think I may need one of these! Thanks for your review. Love your blog (what I've seen so far); I'm gonna go check out more. Oh, and thanks for the giveaway! You're so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of ribbon stuffed in my drawer and in a bag next to my desk. That would be sweet to get something like this!!! Good luck everybody. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a super-cool product! Nice of you to pass on your good fortune and share with someone else!
ReplyDeleteI could really use some organizational help! Cool. ~chris
