Great idea to store rulers
1 Attachment(s)
I love Craftsy and saw these hints on a class Traditional Blocks made Simple (instructor Anita Grossman Solomon). Since I share my sewing space with my dining room, a matching wooden trash can for the rulers really works. The second valuable hint was putting the ruler size in bright pink on each ruler.
My first picture post - hope it works! |
Thanks for sharing the great ideas!

That is a good way to keep them together.

The only time my rulers and cutting mat get put away is when we are having company for dinner. Other than that they are always on the island in my kitchen ready to use.

Another ruler idea that I have just recently tried and like is to put your rulers in one of those file separator stands - 4-5 slots for file folders - it holds all sizes of rulers and can sit right on your table or work surface. If I left my rulers on the floor, my pooches would be all over them!! So much for smooth edges..... :shock:

We are originally from Black Hills area and go to Rapid City often. Live in Wy now. Love the shops there and hope to move back as soon as retire.

If you have a craftsy husband he could build you a medicine looking cabinet with doors and stained cherry wood. Make it 2 inches taller that your tallest ruler and thickness about 4 in wide that way it looks like a piece of furniture in your dining room and houses your rulers yet still is hidden from others. Yet your ideal really works well and I do like it a lot.

Another idea for rulers is a strip of pegboard hung vertically. Mine is about a foot wide and has the long hooks that slip right through the holes in the rulers. I used to use a slotted piece of wood which sat on the shelf but the larger ones would make it tip and now I just really enjoy having them hanging on the wall by my cutting table. I even hang rotary cutters on the hooks, too...up high (although I don't have small children around). I like keeping these all visible and handy.

Really great idea!
|
Great idea...Thanks.....
|
Nice ideas
|
That's a cute idea. I use the command strips and hang them off the CD cabinet at the end of my cutting table. I have 2 on each side and 3 on the backside.
|
What a great idea! I am always fishing around looking for a ruler I have put somewhere it shouldn't be. Thanks for sharing.
|
yes, I like your idea too! Thank you for sharing with us.
|
Now that is a really good idea. I have been trying to think of a good way to store my rulers and this will work. Thank you for posting.
|

|
This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing this!
|
Great idea. I'd sure like to get all my rulers off my cutting table.
|
Thanks for the great ideas...........one of them should work for me.
