Celebrating Individuality

Creating custom has led to many personal revelations.

I've found that individuality offers uniqueness, interest, creativity, and A LOT of inventory, especially ribbon!


I've got so much inventory in fact that soon I'll be moving into my new home studio.


In anticipation of this move, I've come across a great way to organize my rolls of ribbon. I'm so excited about this revelation, there's nothing else to do now but share it with all of you!


Inexpensive Valance rods are the perfect solution. They are extremely easy to hang, the cost is only about $3 per rod, they adjust to any length you need, and they are really strong and durable. I love that the rolls can be removed and transported to your project and easily placed back. You can also slide the rolls over to make way for a new color
(that unusual colored ribbon on clearance you couldn't pass up)
that happens to go best right in the middle of the rod without having to remove any of the other rolls.



My favorite part.....just look at it!!!!
What a celebration of Individuality
I can't wait to make more custom books
without having to search through my inventory for the perfect ribbon!

  8. I’m going to do this in my craft room. I love that you don’t have to take anything apart to get to the ribbon. I just need to figure out how high on the wall and how wide I’m going to make it.
