Why didn't I think of that

Keeping ribbon spools tidy

My sister was helping me move and was watching me try to tape the ends of the spools of ribbon. She asked me why I was taping the ends that way, and I explained I was trying to keep them from unraveling and tangling.

She whipped out her scissor and made a small slit in the ribbon spool. She then tucked the loose end of ribbon in the slit. It works just like the slit in a spool of sewing thread to prevent unraveling.

This works great. Now why didn't I ever think of that?
