Pretty spools of ribbon

Good morning! I have been busy putting my guest room together and on the odd dry day getting outside and painting furniture, spraying picture frames and like!
I originally bought the wire spool holder for my craft room but I changed my mind and sprayed it white to hang in my guest room. To match the rest of the decor in my guest room I wrapped my wooden spools from Jane Means in ribbons and trims in shades of lilac, lavender and mint and have sat them on the spool holder which I have hung on the wall next to my mini printed shelves.

Pretty ribbon dolls

Over the past few weeks I have been sharing with you all the organization I have been doing in my craft room. So far I've placed my favourite white and cream ribbons in a pretty duck egg blue ribbon box, and wrapped my aqua, peach and favourite pink ribbons around wooden spools. I needed an inexpensive idea for the rest of my ribbons so after buying several bundles of wooden dolly pegs and a tin of map pins I got going... and haven't stopped yet!

I have been pretty busy over the past few weeks busily trying to organize all my trims and craft bits and bobs. Here is a peak at the ribbons I have been wrapping around my new wooden spools.
