I went to walmart and in the kitchen dept I bought those plate holders or maybe there for pot lids but they have the rubber coating on them.Its wire coated white rubber.They come in different sizes.I keep all my rulers on these.I lay them on their sides so I can put several in each slot.I dont think im explaining it right but if you go their you can see what i mean.I even bought one for my accucut to hold dies.Their 1/3 the cost for the ones accut sells.

I bought 2 letter file holders at Staples, and put them in the slots. Works great, and it is easy to find what I want at a glance as they are graduated in height.

I have a couple of wooden racks that hang on the wall for the ones I use most often. For smaller ones, I got one of those round belt holders and slipped them through the holes in the ruler and used the hanger to hang them on a hook. It keeps them handy -- my room is so small everything is close.

I use a black metal paper divider from Office Depot. The rulers stack upright like a dish drainer. Works great!

Either a pot lid holder from the kitchen area, or a file separator (metal) from office area of Walmart will work well for
rulers .

Sorry, I missed a page; didn't see the above til after I posted. And, I like the idea of the metal belt ring, on a hook.

I use my mother's old silver letter organizer. I see them at Goodwill all the time. I put it on the table near the wall and the rulers are stacked into each little slot with the tallest in the back. I love it but then I have about 6-7 rulers. Hope that helps.

I also use a peg wall, love it, have the big ones at the bottom and small at the top and hand scissors, etc. from hangers on it, all in one place and flat to the wall, not taking up uch room at all.

I would love to see a picture. I am trying to decide also what to do with my rulers. I would like them on the wll or on the side of my sewing table.
