Hello all,

While wandering around Home Depot, I suddenly remembered that I needed some pegboard hooks. So I meandered over to that section and discovered a possible solution for my ribbon storage! Who’d a thunk?!

Below, is a picture of what I found. It’s a holder that is used on pegboard and it’s for paper towel, twine, and wire. So, why not ribbon?! It cost about $2.57 and seemed to be on clearance (as the tag was yellow):

Although it states it’s for pegboard, it comes with corner holes (as you can see) so somebody can drill it into regular wood (or your wall).

I decided to try it out in my scraproom that has some pegboard near my worktable:

 

As you see, it works great! I purchased three of them. Now, please note that the plastic rod is rather thick, so I did have to use a steak knife and widen the holes of most of my spools. But that didn’t take too long.

And yes, perhaps it’s not the prettiest ribbon holder out there…

but it gets the job done!  :)

And for about $8.00 for all three of them, it’s a lot less expensive than the $10 (I had a 50% coupon!) I paid for the Martha Stewart Ribbon Storage boxes. That’s $10 EACH!

Hope this proves inspirational for somebody.

Until next time!
