Ribbon organizer

If you do handicrafts, then you understand that there should always be order in tools and materials. After all, it affects the quality of work and the speed of its completion. And at one fine moment you notice how beautiful satin ribbons turn into a lump of knots, in which it is difficult to find the right color. The ribbons get tangled, wrinkled, and sometimes you can’t find any other way out but to cut them.

But there is another way out that will correct this situation. In this master class we will make a very simple ribbon organizer.
To create it we will need:
• empty shoe box;
• textile;
• Whatman paper;
• PVA glue;
• colored cardboard;
• eyelets;
• tools for installing eyelets;
• brush.

tool


Prepare the box with the lid already attached. It will be more convenient to work with such a box. Trim off any excess cardboard on the lid to ensure even edges.

Cut off excess cardboard


Cut out blanks from whatman paper for all the outer sides of the box except the bottom. Apply a thin layer of glue to the surface of the box, and then glue the workpiece, pressing it well. Pasting with light Whatman paper is necessary only if the color of the box is dark and the fabric is light.

Cut from whatman paper


Next we cover the entire surface with fabric. Cut the fabric to the size of the back wall and lid with allowances.Apply glue to the wall and lid and glue them in place. Smooth the surface so that it is level. We glue the bottom allowance to the bottom.

cover with cloth


Use scissors to cut sharp corners.

Glue all allowances to adjacent walls.

Glue all seam allowances


This is what the inside of the lid should look like.

look like the inside of the lid


Cut the fabric with a length equal to all sides of the box with allowances and a width equal to the height of the box, also with allowances. Glue all sides of the box to the fabric, leaving the seam allowances free.

Cut the fabric


Fold the allowances on both sides along an even line inward and seal the edges.

We also cut off the corners at an acute angle and seal all the allowances inside the box and to the bottom.

cutting corners


Cut a piece of fabric the length of the box and with allowances. This will be the spine. Folding the allowances inwards, glue the spine so that one half of it is on the wall and the other on the lid.

Cut a piece of fabric


Cut the fabric to the size of the bottom and allowances. Glue inside, gluing the loose fabric to the sides and forming the corners. The surface must be smoothed. Now we need colored cardboard. We use it to seal the inside of the lid, so as to cover the allowances.

Cut the fabric


We cover the walls with colored cardboard, pressing well for a few seconds. You can use hot melt adhesive to glue cardboard.

Cover with colored cardboard


We move on to installing the eyelets, which must be done on a hard surface that you don’t mind. There are special tools for installation; if you don’t have any, you can get by with a standard and simple set. First you need to punch a hole in the desired location. A hole punch or an object that can pierce the surface can help with this.

Insert the grommet into the hole. The hat should be on the front side, and the leg should be facing you. Select a nail whose diameter gradually widens and is wider than the diameter of the shank. Insert the nail into the leg and drive it in with a hammer.The leg of the eyelet will diverge; at the end, tap it lightly on it. The master class uses a special tool for installation.

Insert eyelets


Insert eyelets of whatever diameter you want.

Carefully fold the ribbons


Carefully fold the ribbons. It is better to fold the coils at the very bottom, inserting a ribbon into the hole. Now the tapes are in perfect order!
