Lace, Ribbon, Yarn, Trimmings Spool Organizer

I am working on getting all my lace and ribbon organized and designed this little spool from some vintage sewing graphics I had. The graphics are available in my little etsy store. 



To make it strong enough I print it on brochure paper or matte finish photo paper. Then use spray glue to attach it to a medium weight matte board... You can purchase medium weight matt board at your local office supply store. Cut it out and sand the edges with a emery board. This will give it a die cut look. You can also dress up the sides with a paint pen or heel and sole dressing that is normally used for shoes and that seals the matt board and really makes it  look vintage too.

I have several styles available so stop by my little etsy store and check them out!

    Thank you for the wonderful idea - I need to get my supplies organized! Meanwhile, I'm going to add a link to you - your Etsy store actually. I love the images I purchased, also the bonus gifts (thanks!). I still need to create with them.

    I'm on a surfing trip, visiting all my followers and friends. This post is a little bit girly for me, but I'll ask my Connie if she has visited your post. This looks right up her alley. Have a great week, Steve

    I have just purchased a large joblot of broderie anglaise. These will be perfect for tidying it all away (and display them too). I love having stocks of things to display in my craft cabinets as much as I enjoy working with the items. Why is collecting fabrics, buttons, ribbons, trimmings so theraputic and so much fun??!!

    I know this was an old post but I just found it via Pinterest and I wanted to say thanks you and I also saw a tip the other day to split open a straw and trim to fit the card/spool and then you get no creases in silk ribbon and other ribbons also. Even some lace car crease. But again I say Thanks you so very much!

    Hi Dianna, Thank you for stopping by and sharing this tip! What a great idea! I am on my way to the party store today so I can get some cream colored straws for my own spools.
    Again...thanks so much!
