Pant Hanger as a Ribbon Organizer

SUCCESS!

This is a great idea—why can’t I think of this stuff on my own?!??  I’m so glad that Pinterest can now function as the creative and organizational side of my brain!  I had a few of these pants hangers lying around needing a job and holding ribbon is the perfect task! 

Original Pin:

Tips/Thoughts:
·        I don’t think that the original pin had the ends of the ribbon taped back onto the roll, but I couldn’t handle all of the ends hanging free, it just looked too messy, so I taped them up
·        The value rolls are too large in diameter to hang on rods right next to each other—so if you have rolls of ribbon that are larger than about 3 ½”, you’ll need to plan on having an empty rod between them.  Most of the value rolls that you can get at Hobby Lobby are too large to hang right next to each other (check out the below picture)


A close up of the ribbons being too large to fit nicely next to each other.  This really isn't a big deal, except that then you can't unroll these ribbons very easily. 

 Okay, these are positioned a little better--see the empty rod between my small rolls and my big rolls?  One wasted rod, but for now, I don't need any more space! (knock on wood)
