I was decluttering (which I find to be an offensive word), better yet, "organizing" my ribbon obsession (for I shall not throw any out, ARE YOU CRAZY!!). Hubby doesn't understand, until you step into his tool shed and then we are even. I have a craft event I will be busy creating for that in Dec. but once that is over and right after the Christmas holidays, this is the project I will be tackling. I'm excited, I can't wait to see how much space I condense my ribbons into. (I currently have them stashed in those Michael photo boxes they put on sale every month, labeled accordingly. I'll give you the count once I'm done.

Still have a ton to do but I can't thank you enough for posting this. I live in a very small apartment and my craft stuff is crowding me out. This has freed up a lot of valuable space. The spools are not going to waste either. I found some very cute projects on Pinterest for them and I am getting excited to try something new.

In the event that creasing is problematic, I have a cheap hair flat iron that I keep in my studio and I just pull the ribbon through it (but be careful, some ribbon can potentially melt doing this..so I just plug mine in for a few seconds until it's warm/hot...but not scorching hot).<br />Torreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14153036154504322228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622950755972179437.post-60062514424388428182018-04-04T21:48:55.836-05:002018-04-04T21:48:55.836-05:00So glad I saw this post on Pinterest.
