Reported by MelissaThe Clip It Up became hugely popular when it hit the market last year, now the company has followed up on that success with the new Clip It Up-Ribbon Organizer. This item is similar to the rain gutter system many people use, but better! It's made of the same sturdy, molded plastic as the Clip It Up and has many great features.
There is no center dowel, so spools of ribbon can be removed easily. Just slide the ribbon holder over to keep all the other rolls from falling over when some get removed. There is also a bar to slide the ribbon under, to keep everything neat and tidy.
The each end of the organizer features a holder for your scissors, so keep the regular shears on one end and the pinking shears on the other.
The bottom features the signature Clip It Up clips, to keep ribbon scraps, or, if hanging over your scrapping space, you can always keep stuff like rub ons, stickers and more there. Use it just like a regular Clip It Up. It is also 1 yard long, making it easy to measure pieces of ribbon.
The Clip It Up-Ribbon Organizer will be coming your way in May and will retail for $70. I know it's going to be on my list!
ETA:....ignore that silver part in the picture. Just the black part is the actual piece you will get when ordering. The silver was just added for the display. This is a wall mounted item, so it would be perfect over a desk!!

One of those why didn't I think of that things. Such a great idea-and perfectly obvious when you see it in action. Can't wait for the youngest child to move out-scrapping room here I come.
I have the clip it up and I love it! I will definitely be getting this!
Ribbon organizer?? What craft person doesn't need that. It is a must have situation :D
I know you have staff that writes about product that they try that they seem to really love, but I'd really love to see some articles that are more particular. An occasional thumbs down might give your site some more credibility instead of just being another advertising outlet for manufacturers. Just something to think about- I do like reading the articles but it would really spice things up about to get some negative/neutral feedback along with all the positive stuff. Or maybe it's just that the manufacterers are getting so good at meeting our need they arent making any "miss" products :) Sorry about the public post, usually this kind of thing I'd write a private message but I'm short on time today. looking forward to what you bring us in the future, adelle
This blog is in my Google Reader, but I rarely visit it anymore. Today the Clip-It ribbon organizer caught my eye, so I came over to see it and saw the post by mnhyrkas. I have to chime in to say that I agree with her! I have been wanting to post my opinion for some time. IMHO this site is no longer credible because EVERYTHING gets a positive review. I know that just ain't so. I purchased some of these products and the glowing reviews do not always jive with my experience of the product. MOST of them, but not ALL, I was sorry to find out.
I now check other sources, too. I love the Joann and Amazon sites! They have USER reviews, too! And I will post on my Yahoo lists to see what others think.
I do love this site, because I have found some really neat products, so please keep it up. But maybe you should admit that some products have some serious cons, and just about any product has a few cons. They might not matter to the author but they might matter to someone else.
This ribbon storage system caught my attention. If I had the room I would most likely want this. You asked if there was another ribbon storage out there to let you know. To be perfectly clear, I am not affilated with this company in any way. I have not even made a purchase, yet.
Please check out this storage. http://www.ribbonring.com/
