I love these things!
This is how I organize my ribbon. I remove my ribbon from the spool, wind it up and place it in the embellishment box. It takes a bit of time depending on how much ribbon you have. I place the boxes in something like the Cropper Hopper Embellishment Organizer. I always know what ribbon I have and it takes up very little space. I also use these little boxes for sewing embellishments, snaps, brads, eyelets, buttons…because these boxes are clear you don’t have to open them to figure out what’s inside. The only bad thing is the width, ribbon over ½” will not fit.
