Keeping Ribbon Ends in Place
by Elena
"When you purchase a spool of ribbon, the end is usually taped to the spool. Unless you like to deal with sticky edges on the ribbon or pins in the spool, you can cut diagonal notches into the cardboard through which you can slip the ribbon ends. I usually cut one on either side of the cardboard top so that the ends hanging off aren't too long."
Great tip.
