HOW TO MAKE A DIY RIBBON STORAGE RACK

This ribbon storage rack is super easy to assemble. We used the Allen wrench that came with the storage rack.

The directions couldn’t be any easier, and it took only about 30 minutes to put together.

You can keep the racks separated into two smaller racks, or place them on top of each like we did using the clips that came with it. A great way to save on storage space is to go vertical. It frees up valuable floor space.

It’s light enough to easily move around your space if you need to.

HOW TO STORE YOUR RIBBON

I started by color coordinating the ribbon. This makes it so easy to find the perfect color:

It’s so easy to replace the ribbon rolls and I love that the sides of the ribbon rack are open, so you can simply grab it from the sides

Can I just mention how much easier it is to work on a craft project now with this handy organizer right by my desk? I can easily find what ribbon I’m looking for without having to sort through drawers, or bags.

    I have six of these racks (and need another…. Just call me a ribbon hoarder) and absolutely love them! Make SURE to anchor them to the wall or if setting them up back to back, anchor them to each other. Nothing is worse than having all that work topple onto your head. Ask me how I know 🙁 ugh!

    Great article!
