Hey everyone! Today and I am going to show you how I store (until I can convince the hubby that I NEED to have my very own Ribbon Carousel full of spools!) all of my baker’s twine! I love all brands of baker’s twine and use it almost all the time on my cards, so I wanted to store it in a pretty container that was easy to see and get at instead of a drawer. I find if it is not out where I can see it, it does not get used and I’m sure a lot of you are the same way with your crafty goodies!
First of all I picked up a couple of packages of wooden clothes pins from the dollar store and found a pretty vase at a garage sale (you will see that at the end) and then I got to work on wrapping all my twine!
To start the twine I pushed it through the spring to keep it secure as I wrap it around.
Next I just started wrapping the twine, pretty straight forward.
Here it is all wrapped, I secure the end in the clip and it is ready to go!
And here is all my twine in the pretty vase where I can reach it easily when I am making cards.
I hope you have enjoyed a little peek at how I store some of my crafty goodies!
Awesome idea, Peggy! Thanks for the tip.
Great idea and I love how they look in the vase!!

I’ve seen this done with the old fashioned no-spring style of clothespins for ribbon, but somehow I never thought to try it with these which I already have in my laundry room! Great suggestion.
Nifty idea! Thanks for sharing!
k…you’re a genius! I love this idea! gonna use it
