I love collecting scraps of ribbons. It can be an unused bundle I found in a corner of my house or a bunch of leftovers from a school project. I save them all up because you never know when you need it for gift wrapping or other crafting projects again.

But sometimes seeing those piles of ribbons can get rather depressing. Then I saw that TicTac on my table and I knew it's time I did something about my problem...

Note: This tutorial was done ages ago and has been on CutOut+Keep for quite some time. It's my first ever How-to then so pardon the blur images. I just wanna share this idea with the people on Instructables. (^_^)

Um, genius! I have so many of this size coils of ribbons shoved into drawers and getting tangled up as we speak. Now I have a reason to divulge in my Orange Tic Tac addiction.
