Does anyone have any storage tips...

I am steadily accumulating a lovely collection of fibes and ribbons. But they are currently wound around scraps of card and shoved in a shoe box. The collection has expanded past the shoe box and has overspilled into a paper bag where, (I shamefacedly admit) they are just jumbled up.
Any tips for a nice way to store ribbons that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing (we all want our craft spaces to be pretty as a picture don't we!!!!)

Hiya! Jane Dean (of whom I am a big fan!), keeps all hers in big jars, colour-coded - see this and other pics of her studio! http://seabreezes.typepad.com/photos/my_studio/name.html

Someone else I came across (and can't remember where), bought some of those curtain wire kits, with hanging clips, from Ikea. She stretched the wire between shelf supports and clipped the ribbons up in loops. Looked very pretty - easy to find what you want too.

I also saw a similar idea, using clips mounted vertically on the back of the door. Not sure how it was done though...
