Dear Heloise: An old broom can be used to “corral” rolls of tape. Love your column! — Ann G., via email Ann, I love to repurpose items when I can. I had an old broom handle that I mounted on a wall in my crafting room. I took all my rolls of ribbons and string, then strung them on the pole. It was so easy to just pull out a length of ribbon when I was wrapping a gift.
