So this tip is not my idea... stole, er, I mean borrowed it from Jenn. First, I am a ribbon snob. I like all my ribbon to be on spools. But those really pretty SU! ribbon samplers that come on the cardboard are so pretty that I had to have them, too. Problem is they sit in a drawer and never get used because honestly, I forget they are there. So, Jenn has these glass jars from Target that she keeps on her shelf. She has a jar for different color families. I really like the idea because it adds color to the room. But I don't have that much cut ribbon (see aforementioned "ribbon snob") nor do I have that much space. So, I was at Hobby Lobby this week and I got these glass jars... regularly priced at $2.3
3 but I got them 50% off (which was the sale last week but neither I nor the cashier knew that so she gave me the sale price! I found this out when I went back yesterday to get one more jar - at full price of $2.33!). They are a little over 5" tall and they did have taller ones but I don't have the space.Here's what it looks like by itself. It is a glass jar with a silver/chrome screw on lid. Very simple.
Maybe you can get them on sale ;)

Those are cute jars and that is a really neat idea...even if it was borrowed. You and I have talked about this already but I have tons of cut ribbon (with no spools available), so thanks for the info on the jars.
What a cute idea- going to my faves so that I can remember this when I check the HL ads!
