Pringle tubes

Thanks for the tips Jen, like the idea of acetate in the tubes Never thought of the bisto tubes, think I have just thrown one away, will have to check it might just be nearly empty I sometimes buy the small white sauce and curry sauce tubs too - I don't eat it but Martin likes different sauces on things and it's quick and easy to make a small portion

Hi Ladies, any-one that doe'snt know forum speak would think that you were all addicted to pringles, after all it's so easy they are a bit scrumcious.
I just keep my ribbons and in fact most of my stash on Ikea shelves in B&Q tote boxes, as they came in 3 colours I did make an attempt to colour code my stash. Some of my paper I keep in an old paper rack from a shop that was closing, the rest I have in a very thin 13inches x 14 ikea cupboard and I invested in one of the new 'workspace' cupboards but it takes over my dining/craft room, I dont have any pics but I will see if I can get some.

I can hardly believe this, someone is watching me! Yesterday I spent a large chunk of the afternoon sorting ribbons, (put them in to shoe boxes in the end, just colour sorted, they are beautifully handy, but now I can't get everything back in the cupboard, and even so, the door won't close! More sorting needed.) I couldn't think of a use for 16 large boxes of cheeselets we had over Christmas, I obviously found a use for the contents, (I really needed the extra calories,) just not the boxes. Very annoying, I wracked my brains every time I threw any out, - and now this thread pops up. My only consolation is that I have 9 boxes of Pringles in the cupboard right now!

They look good Jan, great idea.

This threads been here since December Christine

If only I'd spotted it, I could have made use of all my cheeselet tubes! It obviously didn't register until I'd spent half a day trying to squeeze a quart of ribbons into a pint-sized cupboard. And today I have bought more. If you have a JTF (or Frith's) warehouse nearby do pop in, the one nearest me is clearing out 25m rolls of organza and satin ribbons, incredibly cheaply, from 27p a roll. Limited colours though, I bought yellow, wine, green and peach. I also bought a three tier tower on wheels, so I have somewhere to put them all (now I just need somewhere to store the tower).

I am a ribbon freak to Christine, have to really stop myself from buying it
Never heard of JTF or Friths so probably isnt one around this way
At least you have all your pringle tubes left give us a nod if you need help emptying them

Just looked and they are all up North - Hucknall is the closest

Bit far to go for a bit of ribbon, but then again

I've decided I don't like round-shaped containers. I think Jan has made a great job with her Pringles tubes, they look really good, but I have ditched all of mine, and a large Cheeselet tube, and a round Bisto container, and.... I look at them each time before I toss them out, but have definitely decided I like containers with corners that I can stack into large piles. I finally put all my ribbons away yesterday, I cleared a complete shelf in the (double-doored, and very deep) cupboard and put in the shoe-boxes full. They take up far too much room, but it is such a treat to be able to see what I have, it makes such a difference when things are accessible.
