I got this at GW last week for a couple bucks. I'm not really sure what you'd call it. It's got a Napa Valley logo embossed on one end. I guess it's used to transport the wine. I'm not a wine drinker (I'm a beer kinda gal) so I really don't know. I took a before photo, but did so without having the memory card in the camera. DOH! I found this photo on ebay.
I pretty much knew right away what I was going to do with it. For a couple of years now, I'd been trying to figure out how I wanted to store my ribbon. I knew this would be perfect for the job.
I just painted it white and distressed. It looks right at home in my studio.
As you can see, ribbon is kinda sparse around here these days since Han has taken to wearing it in her hair. I'm just glad she's still young enough to think that's cool. She starts middle school next year. Urg...

ReplyDeleteThis looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!
Be glad Han still loves ribbons in her hair!
Take lots of pictures of her now (with the card in) to remember her this way :)
I hope you're having a sunny day despite our gloomy weather!
PS. I need to respond to your email! I haven't forgotten, I promise!
That's so cute! I could really use this!
ReplyDeleteI have one of these but it doesn't have the dividers. Maybe I can use dowels to hold the ribbon in place. Nice idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I need one!
ReplyDeleteSaw your post at Reinvented and wanted to stop by and tell you I like it!! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I need to keep my eyes on the lookout for something like that.. I have all my ribbon in a box & it's always a mess! Thanks for sharing with us at the POPP.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.. My daughter will be in 8th grade, and she will wear ribbons every now and then...
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thursday at Life As Lori... Please join me next week for another great party!
Great minds think alike! I have that exact same box. It was a CD holder. A few months ago I put all our CD's in a binder and tossed the box in the craft room to reinvent later. When I finally got around to trying to find a good use for it I did exactly what you did! It makes a great ribbon holder.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. My ribbon get all tangled up. I need to make one of those!
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to use it that way! Genius! SO pretty! :)

Clever and frugal idea. I'd love if you linked this up to my Scrappy Saturdays to give people ideas about ribbon storage.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, I've been trying to think of ways to store my ribbon... visiting from my backyard eden.
