DIY ribbon storage shelf organizer - FINISHED! CRAFT ROOM wall holder/display/rack organization idea - How to make tutorial

FINALLY FINISHED!!!! {{happy dance}}

I started this project 10 months ago and would work on it between a million other crafts. At some point I stuck it in the corner behind a door and basically forgot about it.

I would remember why I started when I had to dig through numerous boxes of tangled ribbon.

I originally had all my ribbon on this display holder I made in 2012.

Why it didn't work: I'm lazy.

When I finished a roll of ribbon I didn't want to take the entire row down and remove all the empty spools. What ended up happening was the entire organizer was empty spools and I was too lazy to put the new ones on.

I also found that I used & wasted ribbon. Just pulled a bunch and cut to make sure I had enough to use but then I usually had a lot of excess. :/

I decided to make it all wrapping paper instead and I love it!!!

I just wanted to pick up the ribbon and put it back. This way I could use only what I needed.

I found all the materials at Home Depot.

I actually started planning this project in February of 2018!!! Photos are from February. By the time I finally bought the supplies the prices had gone up.

I loved them all!!!

Almost bought these but thought they would be perfect for another project.

I ended up getting the White True Bead Panel.

Since I don't have my own saw {{on my wish list}} I was at the mercy of other people/place.

The Home Depot saw was constantly out of order and part of the reason it took so long to purchase. :(

I'm sure prices are even higher now since I took these photos when I purchased in September last year.

Finally working and I had them cut the board down to fit my space.

The price had also gone up from 88 cents to 94 cents. Per foot price so it was the most expensive part of the project.

I also had them cut all the molding to size for me and had a small issue because I went back a few times and each person would cut the pieces a little differently. I ended up using the widest piece and adjusting the smaller pieces in place. I ended up making it work but some rows have a small gap at the end.

Placed everything together on the floor to get an idea for spacing.

I spray painted the inside of the molding for only the first several rows. The higher the shelf the less I could see. :)

I used a few rolls to figure out spacing and marked placement with a pencil.

I attached shelves on the side and in the back.

I'm obviously not the best with a hammer but the marks wiped off.

I made the spacing a little larger than the ribbon so I could also store deco mesh and larger spools.

My helper and craft room mascot. He's in there all the time. Might have something to do with the treats or maybe he just loves hearing me talk about crafts.

Each row was checked with the level.

My husband added anchors to the wall and attached with large screws at the bottom and top.

8' x 2' with 18 rows!

I absolutely love it!

CRAFT ROOM TOUR - Organization, Set-up, Ideas - GARAGE Make-Over - Work in Progress

Back in August I just started making organizational progress. Whoohoo.....then, we moved. Womp womp.

Now I have my very own CRAFT ROOM!!!! Technically I had one before but it was open to the work out room and part of the garage. NOW it's my very own space for just crafts and it's bigger!!!!!!

My husband is just as excited and keeps commenting how my ~~crap~~ crafts are contained. Lol!!!

It's still a work in progress but I wanted to show you how it's coming along. I still need to paint, build a desk, hang my ribbon organizer (which I think will just be wrapping paper now) and build a new ribbon organizer. :D

BEFORE - storage for everything during the move plus my craft stuff all over.

A month of all the moving boxes and misc things in that room is over!!!! FINALLY making progress....again.

I used the same carpet from the old craft room but had to trim a little down. The part I'm trimming was under a garage shelving system.

Look at my cute "helper."

I like to work on my craft table but I also like to sit on the floor. Now I can do both.

I kept the same shelves and added more bins. I'm still going through boxes, so many boxes.

I used the top shelf to display some of my photos. :) My BFF and crafting twin suggested and I love it.

I made more labels since I'm moving things around but yet to attach them.

I even made a little sitting area because I had the space. :)

Material was leftover from a baby photo shoot years ago. Plus it's hiding ugly spots on the wall.

Awe!

Next, I need to move all the wrapping paper and shelf in the corner. I want to hang my wrapping paper and organize my ribbon on the other wall.

My craft room is always a mess. I plan to organize and then I start a new project, then another, and another. :/ FINALLY I started getting everything into the bins and labeled!!! I'm so excited how it's coming along.

I wanted all the bins at once and finish everything right away but I couldn't afford that. Over the last year every time I went to Wal-Mart I picked up one or two bins. Downside is if they change styles or discontinue or in my case change colors. Ugh. I love the green and now it's teal. :/ I'm twitching a little but I'll make a row of just teal. ((see bottom row...three bins so far))
