Ribbon Box for Easter (or other occasions)

  Ahoy, buckos! Your dear captain had a bad case of craftfailitis in the month of April but is on the mend. She plans to be a more frequent contributor with the craft posts here at Dadiddley. Therefore, by cap'n's order: Let us craft-craft!

~CME~: For today's highlighted craft project, I have been buying, collecting and storing spools of ribbon whilst in port to add to a "Ribbon Box" for Easter (in lieu of a traditional Easter basket). The box below I found at Michaels Crafts for $15 and used a 50% off coupon. The ribbon spools I picked up whenever I stumbled upon a discount/$1 rack, yard sale, second hand store(s), generous,  an unsuspecting grandmother or a serendipitous sweet deal (3 spools ribbon for the price of 1, as an example), etc.
