Organizational Bliss

Do you have tons of yarn and ribbon scraps that end up in a bin somewhere? Untangling yarn, string and ribbon scraps can be a nightmare! Aesthetically appealing solutions to the rescue.

Make sure you have a large space where you can begin the untangling process. Soon, you will be able to discover ribbon scraps you never knew you had.

Clothespins are perfect for storing small strings and yarn.

Once your string is untangled, begin by wrapping it around the larger end of the clothespin.

Tuck the end of the string into the mouth of the clothespin to secure.

The finished project. Store in a glass container. String/yarn clothes pins are pretty to look at, too.

Ribbon on the roll is easy to store by hanging. Use a bell or other "thing" that won't allow the ribbon to slip off. Tie a ribbon to the bell and string through the rolls of ribbon.

Hang the rolls of ribbon from a reliable source.

You can easily get your ribbon off the roll. Tape the end when done to keep the roll from unraveling.

Now the pretty part! Use a metal dress form to loop your yarn scraps on to.

 Layer the colors and size for a unique look.

The finished product! Much prettier than a bin full of tangled ribbon.
