I have a ton of those little plastic baby food containers. My 9yo DD spent an hour sorting all my embellishments into them for me and I still had a bunch left. I was busy cutting korkers and I always get interuppted and my korker piles get messed up when I am doing this. So I grabbed some of the extra little boxes and put all the korks for 1 bow into each container. My korker lengths fit perfectly.

Then I had another genius idea. I put a tiny dab of hot glue on the bottom of the container, and stuck my curling ribbon to it, with the ends hanging out over the edges of the box. Then I stacked my korkers in the box. I can fit 30 in the taller boxes. Criss-crossed the ribbon, put the lid on, and pulled tight. Voila, one perfectly tied korker. I had to laugh because the first time I tried to tie a korker, I pulled the knot and the korker spun around and flew apart, so this solves that problem and makes the process faster.

Wow! I have a baby as well and have plenty of containers. I guess I need to look at them more closely!

Good tips!
