16 Feb 2016 Ribbon rolls

At first I stocked all of my ribbon in blue Ikea boxes. Unclear, so I wanted to think of something else so I could see at a glance what ribbon I had.

Along the walls was no place anymore, so something had to come above the fabric table.

After some puzzling I came up with this solution: Wooden sticks of 9 mm thick on which the roles with smaller holes would also fit. From thick cotton cord that I had left I tied the hanging system.

How much space should there be between two rows of ribbon and how many centimeter in space does a knot take on that rope? I took the biggest ribbon roll I had and with a few centimeters extra I took that as in between space. Then I tied a knot, marked it on both sides and untied it again. Now I knew the size and I could mark the rope and tie the knots at the right height.

The six ropes were hung using hooks on the ceiling. The 10 sticks have the same length as the fabric table underneath. This resulted in two ribbon rolls hanging systems next to each other.
