TIPSY TUESDAY - April 16

Last week, I was cleaning and organizing my scraproom and the process will continue when I get back home. I have been looking at ways to store all this stuff on rolls that is easy access. I often pick up the bags of ribbon at Winners and Home Sense.

Washi Tape and Ribbon Storage

This lady uses the Keurig Tray for holding the K-Cups for her washi tape. It is on the last two minutes of the video, you may want to FF to about 4 minutes.

To all those handy ladies and gents Nicole Heady has an awesome DYI ribbon storage unit for those larger rolls. She gives the complete plan and measurements.

I found this suggestion on Pinterest (posted by thelittlegiggler). I think I might head to the $Store to see, if I can find container with the small holes for my Washi Tape. I have lots of extra knirtting needles that would work as holders.



Hope these sites may give you an idea or if you have a great system please share.

LOVE that Keurig Tray for washi tape!!!! I have to go shop!!! TFS Linda!

I guess the Washi tape is really trending right now, so it's nice to see some ideas on how to store it. I can see myself using these ideas for tape, rather than ribbon (I don't buy much ribbon on rolls)

I don't keep enough of one kind of ribbon to keep on rolls either. The dollar store basket is a great idea though! I use cardboard bobbins and wrap the ribbon around them then store them in a box - just like embroidery floss.

That is a neat idea Jessica.

I use far more ribbon than tape. I only have a few rolls of the washi. I'm not completely sold on it but do like the few rolls I have. I don't think it would ever replace ribbon because my ribbon is just so purty....

Wow those are some really great ideas! I love the first one for washi tape!

I've seen washi tape in an old aluminum foil box & then you have the tearing edge too.

Now THAT is a fabulous idea! I love using old kitchen containers that would otherwise be tossed, purposed like this!

That is the best idea I've heard, Stephanie! Makes me want to have a bunch of washi tape just so I can organize it that way! LOL!

Here's a website I found with the foil container idea. There's also a video in the comments of how someone did their container:
