2025 Craft Space Organization Challenge #6 ~ Ribbons and Fibres and Washi Tape

Are you ready for Challenge #6?

Let's talk about ribbons and fibres and washi tape.

There is no "right" way to store your ribbons, fibre and washi tape. The most important factor is that the system works for YOU. First, let's make some S.P.A.C.E.

SORT:

Gather together all of your ribbons, fiber and washi tape and sort them into piles: KEEP, TOSS, SELL, DONATE.

PURGE:

Throw out the TOSS pile. Immediately make arrangements for pick-up or drop-off of the DONATE pile. Bag up, and assign a price and your initials to the SELL pile, and immediately put these in your garage sale box.

ASSIGN:

Sort your KEEP pile into types/colours of fibre, ribbon and washi tape. If your ribbons are in a big wrinkled mess, take time now to give everything a pressing (careful with the heat, some synthetics may melt!).

CONTAINERIZE:

Consider the space that you have, and the way that you work. Here are some ideas that work for ribbons, washi tape and fibres:

1) on those little cardboard bobbins meant for embroidery floss

2) organized by colour in big clear glass jars on a shelf

3) wound and paper clipped and stored with their coordinating embellishments

4) Cropper Hopper mini embellishment boxes and sorted by colour

5) in small ziploc bags stored in a photo box, or on a big ring

6) in sports cards organizer pages, sorted by colour and in a binder

7) wound on index cards and stored in a photo box

EQUALIZE:

Take a few minutes at the end of each scrapping session, when you return from a crop, or return from a shopping trip to put your ribbons, washi tapes and fibres away where they belong.
