Well, my thoughts were:
- cute
- galvanized
- Tuesdays
- and 65 cents...that's the best one
spaceThis is what I did with them and I love it! The head of the spike is large enough to stand on it's own, plus the support of the cardboard ribbon case. Oh, I know what you're thinking...that pointy tip. It's not sharp, because the spike is so thick, but you could file it down if you wanted to.

SpaceIt's so easy to see what you have for ribbon, what you need to use up and what you need to buy. I use ribbon a lot for gifts, packages, boxes, sewing etc. I kept them in a nice neat box, which was fine, but when I use something quite a bit, it's better to keep it handy and where I can see it.

I actually went out and bought a few extras and separated the colors more. I also have a little pair of scissors that I leave there, so I can always have something there to snip the ribbon.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and don't forget to see yesterday's post about joining The Snowball Night!

SO easy and so clever.....yet I bet you are the first to do this!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, What a great idea. Off to Bunnings to see if l can find some spikes just like yours. They look great out on the bench. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLinda.
This is brilliant!! Love this idea, I will have to try it for myself. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, yay!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a Great ida!!! My spools of ribbon are falling out out over the top of a box...buying these spikes is on my to do list today!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to go to the shop. I'm pretty sure the blacksmith has some of those! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea. I now hubby just bought some of these just for fun when he saw them the other day. I think I will just have to absconed with them, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I'm thinking that attaching a decent magnet to the top would be a great place to store the scissors so they don't 'walk away', plus remind me not to lean too close to the point of the stake.
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea... and I just happen to be on my way to Lowe's this afternoon. Thanks for sharing!
Who'd have thunk it .... besides yourself off course. I have some of those in my tool kit :) I use mine to make holes in the walls for my drapery rods.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!! As always....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. How do you keep them from unwinding?
ReplyDeleteCute, easy and clever....another great TTT!

ReplyDeleteLove it! I love ribbon and have quiet a bit still sitting in a drawer even after I created a rain gutter ribbon holder. I will have to find a way to incorporate those nails!!!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! (visiting via Somewhat simple).
ReplyDeleteFUNKY AND FUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, you sure "nailed" it!;) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi..I’m Barb….I am from Strut your stuff Thurs....I love this. It reminds me of yrs ago taking a dowel & putting it in a wooden block & having about 30 ribbon spools (like you have done)
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower. I hope you will get a chance to visit my blog @ santasgiftshoppe.blogspot.com
& get inspired by something for your family/home. I hope you will follow me as well. Nice to meet ya new friend!!!
That is great. I am doing my craft room right now and this would be great!
ReplyDeleteit's not tuesday, but what a clever idea!! i think i have to look at all your ideas today!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever. I never would have thought of that and they were so inexpensive too. Thanks for linking to We're Organized Wednesday. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to everyone but Hubby and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Have a beautiful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI made some of these. Couldn't get it to stand on it's own, so I super glued a washer to the head of the nail, and it stands up great!!! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I just found you via CEOriginal Art and Craft Studio. Very cleaver on the spikes for ribbon organization. I am following you now and will be back to see more of your great ideas.
ReplyDeleteGail
I love all your organizing ideas, & am a big Home Depot fan.
ReplyDeleteI think you could pop an old ball of any kind on top of the spike (through one side only) as a little protection from accidents. Maybe a golf ball would look cute; I've gotten free golf balls in cereal before (I think it was Wheaties). Thanks for posting so many ideas.
Clever idea, my husband use them as tent pegs for boy scouts.
ReplyDeleteYou are AMAZING!!! I just recently ran across your blog and have been in a trance for a few days looking at everything you have done! I LOVE your sewing/craft room, oh how I could get lost in there for days!! Keep inspiring us with your ideas! I have shared you with my friends already!
ReplyDeleteLoving this blog! Thanks for the great ideas! I was thinking it might be fun to make toppers for the spikes, that you could just lift off, out of Fimo.
