On a Roll with Trim

I needed a way to organize my stash of by-the-yard novelty trims, elastics, and ribbons. So, I glued several layers of felt around the outside of a 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe. I wrapped strands of ribbon and other such notions around the pipe, offset the end of each strand, and pinned it to the felt. I mounted the pipe onto a café-style curtain rod and hung it on the wall. Oh, how pretty!

When I want trim, I simply unroll a length, snip off what I need, and repin the end.

You can get these free, just ask them. Save money & recycle. You can still wrap in felt as discribed above. Great Idea. I cannot wait to set up mine.
