Tangled ribbon again?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This storage hack is so good, I literally stopped mid-project to try it—and it worked like magic.

Have you ever see a tip from another crafter and immediately think, “OMGosh, I have to try that”? That was me this week. I dropped everything—yep, even my to-do list—to give this idea a go… and I was instantly obsessed. So much so, I turned it into this week’s BONUS Friday Freebie!

In this tutorial, I show you how to make simple, custom ribbon buckles from cardstock and mini punches. And the best part? It’s not just cute—it works. Plus, I threw in a bonus trick for taming your thread and twine using a little “cap” made from the same materials.


Inside this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn:

  • How to make three different ribbon buckle sizes for skinny to wide spools
  • A clever twine/thread cap trick that keeps everything neat (and twistable!)
  • The exact cardstock dimensions, punches, and tools I used
  • Close-up photos of each step so you can follow along easily

Here’s how I made the buckle for the LARGE Ribbon:

This organizing hack has totally changed how I store my ribbon—and I think you’re going to love it too.
