Ribbon Storage

Mount sections of vinyl gutter on a wall and place your ribbon spools in them. When you pull on the ribbon, the spool spins in place. Look for gutter sizes that can accommodate your largest ribbon spools.

Cable Organizer

Does your computer desk have a cord problem? Specifically, do your cords all hang off the edge in a tangled mess? Attach a section of gutter on the underside of your desk, toward the back. This holds the cords and channels them toward the electrical outlet.

Boat Racing Channels

Think there’s no way gutters can be fun? They can be if you turn them into paper boat racing channels. (There are lots of videos online that show how to make these boats.) You need one section of gutter material, with an end cap on both ends, for each contestant. Add water, paper boats and personal wind power. On your mark, get set, go!
