Ribbon Dispensers

It's Show and Tell Time!
This is not a paid advertisement - it's just a review of one of my favorite things.
This is one of those things that I'm grateful for, because it makes life a bit easier in simple ways.

Keeping with my scrapbooking theme from the last couple Show and Tell posts of a few of my favorite things, I'm sharing these Ribbon Dispensers.



 I like how they keep the ribbon clean (away from the dust) and yet have them available at my finger tips when I need them. I can just cut off a few inches as needed.
They have inside section dividers that you remove if your roll is to wide - notice the wide blue and brown ribbon in the upper photo - I think I had to take out two sections for that one.  These are my extra dividers that I keep around for later.


I found mine at Wal-Mart several years ago.  I think I paid seven - almost eight dollars, but they aren't even available now.
However, I did search Amazon for ribbon dispensers and found them.

It looked like Amazon would be the place to look if you are shopping for ribbon organizers. I saw several options.   If you shop local stores it might be a little trickier to find ribbon dispensers, but not to worry - I also use the good ol clear plastic boxes for ribbon too.



I love clear storage containers so I can see what's inside without having to open it first.
