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

Thanks so much!!

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??!!

Rina said...

Thank you, it is wonderful!

Thank you very much for sharing these. Love having my things neat and tidy. Have a wonderful day. :)

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!

AlteredArtifacts said...

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!
