Fairy and Betty,

That is a really good way to store ribbons. Easy to see and easy to use.

If I may offer another version of this-----using the same idea, just install the dowel under a shelf. It will now be horizontal.

So you can add and remove ribbon spools, "hang" the dowel at both ends using cup screws (the ones that look like a question mark). That way you can slide the dowel out of one of them and add/remove a spool and then slide the end back into the hook.
Just make sure you have extra space at the ends (or one end) to allow the sliding out of the dowel.

I have my spool/curling ribbons stored that way. Just went and took a picture of it. Please ignore the clutter---this is in my storage area by my freezer.
