I looking on the internet for some magnetic sheets for my dies when I came across boxes for storing ribbons I thought about ordering one then realized I would need more than one to store my ribbon collection but I was getting very tired of having to sort through several baskets all resembling the tangled mess you see here.
So I looked around a found some shoe boxes and Okay, so it 's not very attractive to look at but it's just a trial thing to see if it works. This ribbon storage box was made from a shoe box two lengths of dowel 2" longer than the box , four large beads to fit the ends of the dowels and a length of elastic to wrap tightly round the box.
Tools needed ...... a sharp craft knife to cut the slots for the ribbon to feed through in the sides of the box. You could just lay them over the top of edge of the box if you don't want to cut the slots.

That looks really useful Laura - i'm off to find something similar to make one too. Thanks for sharing. Rae Smith, Townsville, Australia
I have done this and it works well. What I like about yours is how the ribbon ends are corralled with the ribbon/elastic. I used straight pins which can get a little prickely.
