Once upon a time fibres were big...then it was ribbon....

The fibres got dumped a couple of years ago. I bought lots of ribbon, managed to sell quite a bit at crop but still have two 12x12 artbins full. Bakers twine I only got about 6 rolls (x2 packs 3 in each pack, just a small meterage on each). Washi I think I have less than 10. I found it really useful for putting on scrappy stuff I was selling at crop (colour coded pricing).

I got rid of most of the fibers. I purged a bunch of ribbon but kept a bunch, too. It used to be my "thing"- I made sure to put some on every layout. I still like it but I forget to use it. I'm a trendy scrapper and since I haven't seen it on too many current layouts I forget about it. When I get my new scrap room I'll make sure to keep it somewhere where I'll use it more.

I do have a ton of washi. I use it quite a bit but I always make sure to put a drop of glue on the ends because some will curl up after awhile. I still use twine a lot, too.

I used to use a lot of embroidery floss and hand sewing on my layouts. I was just looking at all of my old layouts and I really liked where I had done that. Time to get the floss and needle out again.

Speaking of ribbons, what is the best adhesive to use? I've tried several, even one that was specifically for ribbons, but it didn't seem to work very well.

Oh my goodness, fibers were my first swap!! I had lots but gave away and recently sold a bin of ribbon that I did not need. I have some washi but really one roll is gonna last forever!

I've seen the red tape but I didn't even think about using it.  And why didn't I think of using staples, brads or glue dots?  I guess because they weren't used in any classes I took and I wasn't thinking outside the box.  
Thanks for the great ideas!

I have tons of fibers and I still use them. My ribbon collection is ridiculous and I don't use it even as close to as much as I used to.
I loved the Adornments fibers, Making Memories, and another popular brand I cannot think of. I put them all on fiber cards and then wrote the brand name on the cardboard thingy. I am so OCD.

I was in an eyelets club years ago and every month seasonal eyelets came. I loved it because I got so many different ones.

I got rid of all my fibers years ago. I do still have a few bits of ribbon but I stopped buying it and washi as much as I love the stuff I have enough now to last me forever.  I find that I prefer to use small strips of paper rather than other bits and pieces.

I never belonged to a club that did ribbons but did buy way too much back in the day. I have give a lot away and used a bunch for my daughters hairbows. I did pick up some washi tapes but have maybe 20 total.

Love bakers twine! I only used ribbon and fibers on tags for little tassels. But I use bakers twine a lot.

Not really into washi tape.

I love ribbon and use it all the time. Not that it helps me make a noticeable dent in my stash. I have a bit of bakers twine and washi too, but never got into fiber.
As far as adhering ribbon I use sookwang tape. It comes in various widths and works great. I love that you can just rip off what you need, no scissors needed. I highly recommend it, and it is cheap and lasts a very long time.

I remember ribbon clubs. I used to be in them. I have a lot of ribbon & some fibers & I still use it. I love it.

Back in the day when you just had to have whatever the trend was, the group of us that scrapped together would all each buy one color, design or whatever of item and then split it up between us (6). That way we got a little every trendy thing but not so overloaded. Good idea, but still too much stuff over time! Never joined any official or mail order club. Some of the other girls did.

I did buy a lot of different colored baker's twine. But I use that a lot of ways. Cards, decorations, wrapping, scrapping and anywhere I could use string.

FIBERS- NOT so many
RIBBON - check enough to last for generations
WASHI-- my new obsession- I use pants hangers to organize it- I have 2 crammed full ones and working on a third
Wood vener- a little dabble but didnt' take hold as much
Twine- plenty of it- but rarely remember to use it

and how about that Magic Mesh in all those colors? Do you remember that? Have you ever used yours? I have a Little hanging around and wonder if I'll ever use it- I doubt it
