Sugar Pourer

This is a great option for making your ribbons a decorative piece in your craft room. You can throw in spools or loose ribbons in there, pull one end of each type of ribbon through the spout, and pull as much ribbon as you need for a given project. It makes your ribbon both easy to spot and dispense.
