I am working on getting all my lace and ribbon organized and designed this little spool from some vintage sewing graphics I had. I thought I would share it with my readers :) To make it strong enough I print it on brochure paper or matte finish photo paper. Then use spray glue to attach it to a medium weight matte board... You can purchase medium weight matt board at your local office supply store. Cut it out and sand the edges with a emery board. This will give it a die cut look. You can also dress up the sides with a paint pen or heel and sole dressing that is normally used for shoes and that seals the matt board and really makes it look vintage too.
You are welcome to use it for personal use. Also if you link to the image please make the link to my blog page and not directly to the printable...
Thanks!

Update 7-3-12
I made a card to fit a photo box (shoe box) for my really wide lace and thought you might like it as well :)
I also put two of these on a full sheet. Along the sides I added some of the spools sized for my embroidery floss and a couple across the top for my baby lace, or doll lace. You still might want to grab the larger image above so you can print some for your larger laces and yarn.
Enjoy!

Thank you for the wonderful idea - I need to get my supplies organized! Meanwhile, I'm going to add a link to you - your Etsy store actually. I love the images I purchased, also the bonus gifts (thanks!). I still need to create with them.
I'm on a surfing trip, visiting all my followers and friends. This post is a little bit girly for me, but I'll ask my Connie if she has visited your post. This looks right up her alley. Have a great week, Steve
Thank you, sweet friend, for these amazing organizers. My trims and ribbons are in desperate need of attention and this is it! You are so very kind!!
