Craft Room Organizing with an Industrial Spool
It's time for another #BestofDIY ~ if you love DIY then this is the place to be ~ 25 other bloggers and I have gotten together to share our projects and ideas with you {you can see all of the other projects below and click on them to be taken right to the page with the project!}.
Today I am sharing a project that I have had saved on a pinterest board from Mamie Jane's for a few years now (you can check out her post to see it as well). It's a vintage industrial spool that she used for storage in her craft room. I loved the idea so much that I finally had to make it. It will fit my 'style' perfectly {I have no style but I liked it!}.
I bought a spool at my local antique store.....
and grabbed my huge mess of ribbons.
I drilled some holes in the spool and added cup hooks.
I bought some small rulers at the craft store......
and drilled holes in those as well as some clothespins.
I also cut up a yardstick I had that was cracked...perfect for this project.
When I had my holes drilled and my cup hooks placed I began to wrap my ribbon and lace around the rulers.
I added some doilies to the clothespins and I was set.
From start to finish this project took me 30 minutes and most of that time was spent wrapping the lace around the rulers. 😉
So what do you think? Is this something you'd like to make?

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!! I love this sweet project! It is really perfect for all my scraps and twine and ribbon. This is going on my must-do list!
This is such a great idea, MaryBeth! I have so many spools of ribbon laying around, it would be nice to get them all organized onto 1 cute holder!
So cute and an awesome idea!

Adorable! I love this little craft room display!
Mary Beth, I love to be surrounded by my crafting supplies. I find it so inspiring to have everything at hand and this project is so perfect for keeping those pretty ribbons close by.

What a great way to organize your ribbons and lace. Now you can see exactly what you have!
I have to make this! What's so fun is that it can be made in your own style. Would be cute to hold photos too! Jeanette
Love this clever idea Mary Beth and it's so functional too. Thanks so much for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.
