    Default My new "Ruler Corral"

    I mentioned to my sweet husband that my rulers were always on the table in my way, or inaccessible in a drawer. He built me this great corral for them.

    What great ideas -- I don't have any edges that would work. Mine live on my pegboard for now, too.

    I like this. They are handy and yet out of the way. I could use about 3 of these.

    I wish he could come up with something for all of my small templates, my larger rulers are kept in an old letter file. I actually have too many large rulers and an wanting to sell some of them. Sometimes you just have to down size!

    What a creative idea...you're lucky he's handy. Your rulers look quite happy in their new home.

    Rulers are always a problem. I keep small ones in a drawer and the larger ones in a metal desk file organizer I bought at a thrift store. I really like the way your DH fixed your problem. He's a keeper.
