Ribbon rings

[MiniOwner]

i have just spent the afternoon doing my ribbon rings, and have to say I love them

I have them on a jailer ring-so its fits LOADS I actually need to buy more of them

I know i will use my ribbons more now, as I can actually see them

Hi Leigh! Where do you get the jailer rings?

I have mine on ribbon wraps (also from Rebecca) and having 'invested' in this system, I don't want to change. However, the ribbons are lightly creased every 4 inches or so, it's fine if you're sticking the whole length down, but can be a problem if you're tying bows or whatever.

I saw a specialised 'ribbon straightener' in a magazine, so I applied a bit of lateral thinking. DH has hair straighteners, but they are a bit unwieldy. I had some M&S vouchers from work for Christmas, so I treated myself to their travel hair straighteners, they work a treat for straightening ribbon and are easy to use and store. Sorted!

Capture the Magic has them

I've just 'had' to order more ribbon rings

We have ribbon rings and ribbon wraps here

I have mine stored on book rings like this as I can sort them by colour (sad I know) so I can always find what I'm after and also I can take them to crops really easily without having to sort through a jar or a drawer and just pick out a few. I used lots anyway but now I use more lol

ooh Debbie, I just had to comment on your craft table - how tidy and how tempting are all those ribbons!!!!

I am in the process of sorting my ribbon stash. Would love o have them all on a ring and hanging, but little fingers have other ideas. I have mine in little baggies in colours. At present they are in a clear vanity bag, but I hope to have them on clips and then rings so I can store out of reach and in sight.....can't find the clips I have in mind as yet

On the topic of 'jailer rings' my local key cutting shop sells these....so might be worth keeping a look out!

I have the ribbon cards for rikrak but found that it was gonna be too expensive to buy the cards for my ribbon stash. I use voile/net curtain rings which have crocodile clips on the end to hold the curtains up. They were about £4 for 20 rings in homebase. I clip my ribbons together in colour groups and easily get 8 per clip. I hang them from cuphooks from my shelves and use them so much more than I used too.

Thanks for the heads up...sounds like those rings are the ones I am searching for

Thanks so much rebecca, I ordered these wednesday and they arrived this morning I have just sat for two hours threading my ribbons and they look fab, just being able to see and touch them is amazing. Need some wide cards though as I didnt realise just how much wide ribbon I have. Will get some pictures later, need to find some hooks Thanks so much for all your imput, you have all been fab as usual

Well the picture should now be attached here... I tryed to do girlie colours ~ boys colours/neutrals ~ rikrak and mixed colours. It doesnt incluide any wide ribbon though, will have to buy some wide ribbon cards I definatly like them hung up to see
