Ribbon Mobile or Ribbon Storage

The past couple weeks I have had a few different reasons to dig out my old ribbon collection from back in the days when I used to scrapbook on a regular basis.  All of the pretty ribbon, organized by color, sit in a bag in a chest that we use as a coffee table in the front room.  It is really sad that they aren't out where you can see them.

She was inspired by this Pottery Barn Teen ribbon mobile:

It makes a cute addition to a girls room, but I think it also makes a pretty great way to store your ribbon out in the open.  Instead of securing the ribbon to the frame, you could just loop it through.  That way the ribbon remains completely useable, but you also have a beautiful display for your craft room.

It reminds me of this idea from Donna Downey that I fell in love with a couple of years ago:

I cannot tell you how many times I had to talk myself out of buying a dress form!  Looking at it now I almost still wish I had!
