For Your Ribbons...

A place to store ribbons! My Converse shoebox. I knew this box would come in handy. Poke holes on opposite ends of shoebox and glue/tape 2 chopsticks together and put them through the ribbons' spools to hold them in place. Punch holes through the front of the shoebox to string your ribbon through!

materials:

chopsticks (or skinny wooden sticks to put spools through), shoe box, spools, hole puncher

Spool Stand

I didn't really have any "real" wood for this, so I used extra base board we had lying around. I sawed it myself! Then I carved holes and hot-glued little pieces of wooden sticks (i used chopsticks) to hold the spool in place! Be sure to sand down the sharp spots. It's no fun getting a splinter.

materials:

wood (or baseboards like I used! lol), saw (please be careful!), TONS of wooden chopsticks or a long skinny wooden pole (from Michaels), wood carving utensil, hot glue, hammer, nails, sand paper
