May I take a few moments to make a little product recommendation? Karen Elizabeth (of the etsy shop of the same name) was kind enough to send me one of her awesome Spool Stands for my craft room! I hadn’t found a reliable way to stash my ribbon other than throwing them all in a basket, and this ended up being perfect!
The spool stands are sturdy and made of wood and stand 14 inches tall. I’m told they can hold anywhere from 6 to 22 spools of ribbon, depending on the size of the spools. Mine came in a bright apple green but check out Karen’s shop for several other colors. I love this thing, I definitely recommend picking one up!

That is such a cute and awesome idea!
Super cute! If I had tons of ribbon I would definitely need one.
that would be cool for displaying thick bracelets, too!
Funny that you posted this–I currently have about 20 spools of ribbon (some of the exactly the ones in your photo!) strung on a thin dowel I am trying to mount in my office/craft room. I found a spot in my closet-turned-storage-shelving where I can attach cafe-curtain hooks to the door frame and then run the dowel across the door where one of the shelves is (this is hard to describe in words) but now I can’t get the screws into the apparently petrified doorframe. Sigh.
Have you have trouble with all the ribbon unwinding itself? Maybe I’ll just drill a whole in a chunk of wood and stick my dowel in it upright.
