Product Review #4 - the Ribbon Ring! :) {and a RAK!!!}

how do you organize your ribbon?  so many containers, rails, clips, sticks, little boxes, big boxes, zippered vinyl bags with holes all over...the list goes on & on...but have you seen the Ribbon Ring???

melissa, the creator, says, "The whole reason I invented Ribbon Ring was because I couldn't manage my own collection of ribbon...I needed the ribbon at my fingertips and neatly organized. I came up with a solution and it works great!"   

some of the things i like about the Ribbon Ring are that all the ribbon can be organized any way you want {and switched around easily, too!}, the ribbon becomes easily accessible {and therefore more likely to be used} and ***my favorite*** when displayed, they are also a functional decorative element in your scrap space!   :)  i don't know about you, but that's important to me.  i want things to look cute & pretty in my scrap space!   :)

Ribbon Ring is a bundle of plastic ribbon tags that hang on a metal clasp ring.  You thread your ribbon on the tags and hang the tags on the ring.  You can hang your Ribbon Ring on any type of hook...and it looks great, too!!!   :)   one more thing.  what do you do if you have big spools of ribbon?  no problem.  that's why melissa created inventory dots.  let's say you have a super long length of ribbon {or big ribbon spool}, you put your desired amount on the ribbon card and then affix an inventory sticker dot on the corner of the tag.  this reminds you that there is more of that ribbon elsewhere!  sounds like she has covered all the bases with the Ribbon Ring!   :)

I LOVE IT...and you will too!!!  yes, that's right!!!  it's RAK time again!!!  :)  melissa generously donated a Ribbon Ring Starter Set to be given away as a RAK to go along with my PR!  :)  so, here's your chance to win the perfect starter set.  {courtesy of the inventor/creator herself!}  thank you, melissa!  :)
This set includes one 2" metal ring, thirty ribbon tags and fifteen inventory dots.

* ribbon tags hold ribbons up to 1.125" wide.
* Multiple ribbons can be hung on each tag.
* The 2" ring holds 60 ribbon tags comfortably.

for this RAK opp, please send me an email or leave a comment under this post and tell me some ways you currently store your ribbon...and do you think you will try the ribbon ring?!  why/why not?  :)   take care & good luck!!!   :)

I would LOVE a Ribbon Ring. I've seen it mentioned several times at different messageboards I go to and it's on my "wishlist" that I give out for my birthday and Christmas. I have yet to get one. LOL Anyway, right now my ribbon is either in plastic baggies or in a plastic divider container that I bought at walmart. I rarely use it because, as usual, out of sight, out of mind. LOL I think the great thing about the ribbon ring is that you can hang it up in the open and you'll always see it, therefore you'll use it more. My baggies/container are put away in a drawer, so obviously they don't get used much.

Hi Shari,what a great idea,as usual we don't have such in the Netherlands,we are way behind.
I store my "best'ribbons in a glas jar,so it look nice,the others I have in a ziplog bag and in a box.
But this looks nice and its indeed decorative,have fun with it,LOOKS good.
Have a great day and take care,
Fia

Hi Shari...
I have a great big glass jar with a lid with all my loose ribbon in it... the rest I have just anywhere it would fit...
I am in the middle of making a room for myself and organizing it...Yes I am going to post the really bad pictures today...
Talk to you soon

[Diana]

I store my ribbon on the spools, in jars and the ribbon rings but my favorite is the ribbon ring! I actually have two ribbon rings but need more of the plastic holders. I like to walk into my scrap area and see all the colors hanging on the walls. I love my ribbon rings.
By the way, did I tell you that I LOVE my ribbon rings?????

I currently store my ribbon in a big old hot mess in a drawer. LOL. I responded to a invite to "see" this new system and got one of the ribbon tags in the mail. Well, I thought it was a brilliant idea, but just never got off my duff to order it. So, I'd love the starter kit to help me get started organizing my pile-o-ribbon.

[Kim]

I don't have a special place for my ribbon, unfortunately right now it just sits stacked in piles on my table. I have limited storage space, so I think the Ribbon Ring is a fantastic solution, and it'll free up a bunch of space on my table!

I store mine in the cropper hopper embelishment boxes and on chipboard. It works well. Would like to try the ribbon ring....

Hey Shari!!
I really do love your blog!! Have learned alot just from reading all of your stuff!! I would LOVE to try the ribbon ring---never saw that "up here in the north"! I told you I live in the "boondocks"!!
PS: I love the music you have on here!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Unfortunately my ribbon is all over the place. Sort of stored by color, but in way too many different places!

[Bondie]

I have not seen the ribbon ring in stores, but it looks absolutely fascinating. It would look good near my work table, and I could see, at a glance, my ribbons. Seems like a great idea to me. As of this moment, I have a ribbon organizer from Oriental Trading, an organizer from a pottery place, and a plastic box that I purchased at Wal-Mart. I probably have some ribbon stashed in baggies, and in various other places. Ribbon Ring sounds like a solution that I need to invest in soon.

[Joy Smith]

I have never seen anything like this what a great product. I have tried so many different solutions for ribbon storage that it is mind blogging. By the way I love your Blog Shari and never before have I left a comment on one. Good luck with the product Meliisa and I know it is on my wish list.

I have read some about this but haven't seen one yet. I would love to try one!!!! Right now my ribbon is in a drawer, small pails on my table,anywhere I can stash it at the time. It's going on my b-day & Christmas list!!

[Tamera Newger]

I would LOVE to win this RAK..right now mine is crammed in jars and jars, getting wrinkled and smashed, I would like to try this and if it works convert the rest to this storage...awesome idea!

I'd love to try out a ribbon ring. Right now I just have my ribbon wrapped by color on chipboard rectangles and then stored in a basket. A ribbon ring would be a wonderful way to store it!

[scrapper al]

I store my ribbon on their original manufacturer cards or in those little Cropper Hopper boxes. Although this keeps the ribbon neat and clean, it takes up a lot of space and it kind of expensive. I saw the Ribbon Ring in action at a crop and fell in love with it.

[NancyG]

Haven't quite found the perfect way to store ribbon... yet!

Have a few jars crammed to the top, ribbon boxes with slits to pull a bit of ribbon through, embroidery floss cards wrapped with ribbon and my personal favourite... a mini wooden ladder with ribbon hanging over the rungs!

Haven't seen the Ribbon Ring in Canada yet... may be the perfect soltion for me!

[Tammy C]

I have not seen the Ribbon Ring until today and absolutely love it, what a great way to store ribbon! I currently use one of those snapware containers for my ribbon, but find I am not using much of my ribbon because I can't see it. Would love a Ribbon Ring so I can see my ribbon and use it up (then I can buy more!)

[Cristen baker]

Right now my ribbon is everywhere. in plastic bagies on the reals, in boxes. just everywhere the ribbon ring is something to me. I dont know anyone that has one but i would lve to try something new

[Maria]

Wow what a wonderful giveaway! I have seen the Ribbon Ring on a few other websites before but haven't seen it in person yet. I would love to win the starter set and get to try it out! Right now I store my ribbon by color on cards, in baggies or on the spools. It works ok but it takes up WAY too much space and I forget to look for it. The Ribbon Ring sounds like it will work much better for me!

[Jamey]

i think this is such a good idea - both practical AND functional. At the moment, I have ribbons in a stack of small plastic drawers, a handful in a glass jar, and heaps sitting in a plastic bag which i can no longer close. A ribbon ring would solve a whole lot of storage issues for me!!

[Rosie]

Thanks for reviewing the Ribbon Ring. I have not heard of this before but to does look like a great solution. Currently, I store most of my ribbon in glass jars and a box or two. I do use it but I like this product much, much better.

[CRyan]

I would love to try the ribbon ring. I have yet to see them in a store to purchase and I live in an area with quite a few stores. I currently store my loose ribbon in the ribbon bag with all the little holes. It mushes down and I don't like the way it looks. Rolled ribbon is in a drawer in my desk cube from Target and even more ribbon is on a spool that my dad made me. I think I have tried all the different options out there and am still looking for just the right product. I hope the ribbon ring is the answer.
