Several months ago, Nichole Heady posted her ribbon shelf that her husband made for her, it was perfect! I asked DH last winter if he could build me one, he said when it got a little warmer in the garage, well it got warm and still no shelf. It was too hot now, so when it cools off he told me. WELL, I out smarted him, my birthday was the beginning of the month, and that's what I told him I wanted! :) He couldn't put it off any longer...haha. When we went to buy the sheet of Bead Board(they come in pre-cut half sheets) we decided instead of cutting it down, we would just use the whole piece, this determined how large my shelf would be. Since it is so large(2&1/2'x4'), I decided that i didn't need all of that storage for ribbon, so i had him put a couple of shelves using the 1x4 boards. There are 41 rolls of ribbon on the top shelf so far,I'm thinking it will hold about 55 per shelf. The bottom shelf is 1x4 also, making it perfect for the larger spools of seam binding. I was going to have DH hang it on the wall, but I think I might just like it where it is at.
The unfortunate thing is, the first 30 rolls of PTI ribbon that I bought, I took off of the spools and put into these jars. I wish I had those empty spools back now!
Before I go, I wanted to share these adorable boxes that I bought at TJMaxx. They go perfect with my room, I just love them!
Thanks for stopping by today!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great unit he built. And those boxes are a great find!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! How wonderful that your husband made this for you. I need to remind my husband again. Bummer that you put so much ribbon in the jars , oh well . Great idea to use the extra large for more shelves.
ReplyDeleteOh your so lucky to have a handy husband. I love your birthday present and those boxes look so cute!
ReplyDeleteTeresa,
ReplyDeleteThank you for you sweet comment!
Happy Birthday, your husband is a doll!
Seriously, how often do we get what we really want?
PS, your pumpkin is devine! So original!
Oh I just love that your sweet husband built that for your birthday. What a lovely gift! Happy Birthday! For your ribbon spools I wonder if you could cut down empty toilet, wrapping paper or paper towel rolls to make ribbon spools that would "work" for your needs? Just a thought....I often wrap all my ribbons in one color around empty paper towel rolls and secure them with straight pins and store them in a drawer. It works great and lets me know what I have in each color...
