I promised that I would show you my ribbon closet someday, and now that someday is here! I have a fetish for ribbon and when I owned a scrapbook store we had a great selection of ribbons and I was always adding to it. When I closed the store down, I brought home about 1/4 of the bolts of ribbons. We sold all the rest, but I still came home with 2 racks of ribbon! I told you I have a fetish! Most of this is what I came home with.
Then I added to this collection with a lot of ribbons from Costco. They come on these big rolls, so I put them on spring curtain rods. I added the shelf to work on. I know that it is not fancy, but it does the job! I have the shelf in the corner for future ribbons! You wouldn’t want me to run out of ribbon now would you?
In the other corner of this shelf, I added shorter spring rods going up and down with all of my bolts of tulle. If I keep them pinned, they will not come undone when I pull on one of the bolts. 
This is on a shelf on the opposite side of my ribbon closet. I just put all of my curling ribbon in this big plastic bin. They do not seem to get tangled up, so I have not pinned any of these. They are just loose in the bin so I can take out just the colors I need.
This is what my whole ribbon closet looks like. I love it and I use it all of the time!
This ribbon closet is in one of my kids old bedroom. (They are all married and gone now, so I get to do whatever I want with all their bedrooms!) I refinished two old dressers and have them in this room and they make great storage for my wrapping paper!
I use the top drawer for my tissue paper, one drawer for Christmas paper and another drawer for birthday and other wrapping paper! It all fits perfectly. In the other dresser, I have all my gift bags in the drawers.
So there you have it, now you know what a ribbon nut I am! :)
So how do you store all your ribbon and gift wraps?
I am so jealous… I LOVE this… wish I had the space for it… that’s awesome…. totally awesome!!!!!

Thank You. I know that I am so lucky to have extra spare bedrooms right now in my house, and I love finding fun uses for them. I forgot to tell everyone that you can also line up bolts of ribbon in a dresser drawer and that works too along with the gift wraps!
I am very envious of your ribbon collection! I wish I could say I was as organised as you…my stuff is all locked away in a suitcase!
I just want to invite you to join in with my weekly Say G’day Linky Party which started on the weekend. I would be so thrilled if you could join in and link up this wonderful post!
Best wishes for a fabulous week!

Can I move in? I’d love to have all those beautiful ribbons. Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday :)
Hi, my name is Robin. I am a ribbon addict. :) I have eight plastic lidded storage containers that I have my ribbon in. The benefit to doing it this way is that I can group them – six of my bins are for Christmas because they have those darned sales after Christmas and I can’t help it, I have to buy more ribbon. Wrapping paper is really a problem. Currently I have one of those huge plastic wheeled trash bins but it’s too big to move around and the paper isn’t visible in it so it really doesn’t work well. If I ever figure out a perfect way of storing wrapping paper, I’ll make a fortune because no one has come up with it yet!
Thanks for the post – there’s a lot of good information here! :)
Thank you for your comment! If you come up with a great wrapping paper storage let me know!
You have about as much ribbon as I do fabric. I love how you have organized it. It looks fantastic.
Thank You! I know, but isn’t fun to have a fetish?!
Wow. All of that color-coordinated ribbon makes me truly happy!! :)
I LOVE your collection!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality!! xoxo
WOW!! You sure do have a lot of ribbon. My Mother-in-Law would LOVE your room at Christmas time. I bet you have the the best wrapped gifts at the Holidays.
Thank you for your comment, I love to hear from my readers! I do love to wrap gifts, but I use ribbons on so many of my projects that my “closet” gets used all the time!
What a gorgeous and well-organized space! So pretty!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment and your support. It does make me happy to go in there!
Hi,
I followed you over from Mix it up Monday and this looks amazing! This is EXACTLY what I need to clean up all my wrapping paper and ribbons that have taken over the hall closet. Thanks for sharing.
