Tape Storage Ideas

Paper tapes and other decorative tapes are so fun to collect, but how do you store them? It is nice to have them all in one place so that you can see your choices when working on a project. A lot of ribbon storage ideas can work for tape storage as well. I have selected a few ideas that will work well for either tape storage or ribbon storage.

Michelle Allen shows how to make this ribbon or tape dispenser for storage in a post here.

Just Something I Made has a tutorial posted for making your own washi tape dispenser using a cigar box. See more photos and details here.

You Go Girl shows her studio space here. Take a look at her ribbon storage solution.

Elise Blaha shows photos of her office space here, including this photo below which shows her tape storage idea.

One Pearl Button keeps her ribbons displayed and at the ready in vintage pyrex bowls.

Heidi Woodruff, of Everyday Cookies,” shows photos of her beautiful studio here. Take a look at her display of ribbons and tulle in a rustic tool box on her desk, below.
