Ribbon & Alpha Storage

Good morning! Just a quick little post for you this morning. Lots going on behind the scenes here, but nothing that I can share with you just yet!

I thought I'd take a photo and share how I store my alphabet stickers and ribbon. I bought a simple towel bar that is usually used in the bathroom. I would have loved an Ikea rail system, but we don't have one nearby and I couldn't see paying $20 for shipping! I bought this at Home Depot for $15. You can find S-hooks at any hardware store. Mine came in packages of two each for less than $2.

On the S-hooks, I put my alphabet stickers, sorted by color. This way I can see exactly what I have and will hopefully use them more!



On the other end of the bar I have my Ribbon Ring system. Love this!!! I wrote a review about it over on Craft Critique back in April. My ribbon storage was a disaster and although I was hesitant to hang my ribbon up like this I am so glad I did.

It's so easy to find exactly what I'm looking for. Plus I'm seeing combinations I never would have when my ribbon was in a drawer. I even tucked some Unity wood-mounted stamps behind the Ribbon Rings. [I just used paper-clips since I didn't have any s-hooks on hand.] And on an extra-large ring I placed some bling that was in a drawer not getting any love. I'm using this a ton more, too.

Hope this is helpful to some of you! Stay tuned for a little candy tomorrow. {wink}
