Sweet Treat Containers

There's nothing like using ribbons to finish a project.  And Ribbons Unlimited has some lovely ribbons to choose from.  Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a cute little metal caddy which I thought would be fun to turn into a sweet treat container.

I decided to  frost the glasses, so I used dip 'n etch from Etchall.  This product allows you to etch glass in just 15 minutes.  So while I waited for the glasses to etch, I decided to change the color of my caddy from white to blue to match the ribbon I wanted to use.  I simply white washed the caddy with Ann Butler Iridescents in Lagoon, letting some of the white caddy show.

Using Four Seasons Wired Ribbon in Aqua, I tied the ribbon around the necks of the bottles.  Then I tied additional ribbon about the handles of the caddy.

I think this made for a perfect candy dispenser.  It sits on my desk and when I need a sweet snack - there it is.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Ribbon Holder Cards and Box

Hi guys!  Jamie back with you today to share a fun project to help you store your ribbons!

I created this ribbon holder box and cards using my digital die cutting machine then I simply wrapped my extra ribbons around each of the cards and placed them in the box.  Now all my ribbons are tidy and easy to access!  This is perfect for your scrap pieces or for condensing down your spools of ribbons!

Do you see all that beautiful ribbon?

I am storing my red and hot pink double-ruffled ribbon, my daffodil and light orchid dazzle ribbon, and that fabulous giraffe grosgrain ribbon on my cards!

How do you store your ribbon!  We'd love to see...

Cute Storage + Pretty Ribbon with Christine Meyer

Hi Ribbons Unlimited fans!  Christine back with you today and ready to share some more simple storage pieces that I added a little ribbon to to jazz them up.  Sometimes the perfect finishing touch comes in the form of a simple ribbon tie or bow!

These simple storage pieces are designed by fellow Ribbons Unlimited Design team member Jamie and cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.  After decorating each piece with paper, washi tape, and stickers; I went back and added in bows and ties to give them a final touch.

For this holder I used the ribbon as the pull for the drawer at the bottom.

Here I just tied a simple bow around the marker box.

A bow at the top of this desktop caddy was the perfect touch.

A bow overwhelmed this washi tape box so I opted to just do a simple tie instead.

The next time you are looking spruce something up don't forget to look at your Ribbons Unlimited stash.  With the variety of colors and designs you are sure to find several fabulous options!

Prettying Up Storage with Christine

Happy Friday Ribbons Unlimited Fans!  Christine up with you on the blog today!  I can't believe we are already smack dab at the end of July!  One of my summer goals was to work on putting together this storage piece and Ribbons Unlimited had the perfect ribbon to help me finish it off!  Organdy ribbon is probably my favorite (and go to) ribbon on most projects.  I love the selection that Ribbons Unlimited has of this gorgeous ribbon!

This storage piece comes from Gina's Designs and you have to assemble each drawer.  I covered mine with various patterned paper from Echo Park's "Beautiful Life" line.

I then tied bows using the Strawberry Organdy Ribbon .  I stuck a large brad through the bow and then put them through the drawer hole.  The ribbon is perfect for being the pull to get the drawers out and adding a feminine and pretty touch!

Supplies Used:

Ribbons Unlimited Strawberry Organdy Ribbon
