Here's my new ribbon rack...
So remember this gun rack(?) I got at Sal's the other week for $1.99?
I was in the neighborhood for another ribbon holder &
it reminded me of the last one I made so I went to work.
Got it sanded down...
And spray painted it an off-white color.
Then got some patterned paper and modge podge...
Did some measurements...
Cut some paper...
Modge podged the paper on and did some trimming...
Inserted my dowels and ribbon and placed them on the rack!
Done!
So nice to get the ribbons in one place!
My craft room is one step closer to being done!
So how do you organize or store your ribbons?

what a great idea! i love this!
That is so neat! You did a wonderful job.
Unfortunately, the only type of organization that I use is a rubbermaid container. I've got to get more crafty!
I would never think... a fun rack! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing over at Tuesday Tell All. I think that I will be looking for a gun rack.
Great idea! I love my ribbons all secured and organized too! thanks for sharing and i love the wall color too

Cool idea! I store mine in labeled plastic containers on a rack...you can see them in a picture on by blog. It would be Nov. 2010 "Happy Birthday" post,you can see my studio for the most part there.
Again...I will be back for ideas, I am a organizer so what does that tell ya...having fun on born-again crafter...Tootsie
I used to store mine this way (http://nelliebugs-swaps.blogspot.com/2010/10/diy-ribbon-organizer-for-4.html) but now I use gutters. So much easier because you don't have to take so many rolls off if you want one in the middle! Yours is much prettier than mine was though LOL.

Very smart! Who would have thought a gun rack could be used to hold ribbon. Love it! I'm your newest follower.
Great idea! I think I will be on the lookout for a cheap (or free) gun rack myself now! Thanks for sharing. PS - I love that patterned paper you chose! I've had that before in my stash, but it didn't last long! :)
LOVE it - I am gonna be on the lookout for a similar rack because my three baskets of ribbon just aren't working for me! I'm your newest follower from HoH blog hop ~ hope you will stop by & follow me back!

Great use for the gun rack!
i'm so glad i found this post! I have recently built up quite a ribbon collection, plus I saw the exact gun rack (except painted black) in my thrift store the other day.
Thanks for the idea!
I really need one of these! My ribbon collection is such a mess! Thanks for stopping by and linking!
Very clever! I would not have thought of doing this. Thanks and it looks so cute with the colored paper also.

Super cute idea! I need something like this for my ribbon. I wonder if it would work for fabric? Thanks for sharing. :-)
