Then I went in search of some ribbon to make a collar for a stuffed animal and realized &#8211; the amount of ribbon I have is&#8230;<strong>riDICuLOUS<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>So, I broke down and bought the clip-it-up ribbon organizer. I figured there was no way I was going to get the time, supplies and gumption together all at the same time in order to fashion some sort of ribbon holder, so I spent the money, and just look at it there on the wall!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ribbon! Ribbon! Ribbon! by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/3286212277\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3242\/3286212277_eaee115b65_b.jpg\" alt=\"Ribbon! Ribbon! Ribbon!\" width=\"490\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And once I had organized all the ribbon, it started a snowball effect. Now I had an empty drawer and an empty box, so I started organizing the other drawers and pretty soon&#8230;every brad, every piece of paper, every embellishment had a new home.<\/p>\n<p>And I started finding little trays, jars, and cans and re-purposing them. The tall can here is from my mocha powder, and the shorter, fatter one used to have Zingerman&#8217;s macaroons in it. (Mmmm&#8230;Zingerman&#8217;s. Macaroons.) I just covered them with some pretty paper and now I have some cool new storage tins.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"New holders by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/3286213209\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3486\/3286213209_79e19c2cef_b.jpg\" alt=\"New holders\" width=\"490\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am on a roll. If I were a closet or a drawer in my house, I would be a little scared right now &#8211; or maybe excited, I&#8217;m not sure which! One thing is for sure, it makes me so anxious to get in there and create something.
