Craft Room Oganizer

Craft Room Oganizer If your craft room is always messy, you might want to turn that old shoe box into nifty ribbon storage. I sure could use one for my studio; I store my ribbons in old coffee containers.

UPD:

To start the transformation, simply cut slits into the side of the shoebox to hold the ribbons in place. Painting or wrapping the box in chic wrapping paper can up its aesthetic appeal, making it not only functional but also a charming piece of decor. Whenever you need a ribbon, just pull out the length you require, and snip; the rest stays untangled and ready for your next project. It's an easy and stylish way to keep your crafting corner organized and your materials within reach. Plus, it's a wonderful way to upcycle materials you already have!
