    miholmes posted a question about storing rolls of batting. Here's how I do mine. The hook is a Rubbermaid ladder hook, made to go on the garage organizer rails. I don't need the rails, but if you have the wall space, you can attach the rail to the wall. This works great - just pull off what you need. Hope this helps!

    I should also mention that it holds the roll at an angle to the wall, keeping it snug. That helps keep the roll from spinning and unrolling itself. It is NOT fun to re-roll 25 yards of batting!!

    If I came home with a roll of batting I think my son would throw me out of the house :shock: LOL

    Good idea. Though I'd have to rig something inside my house. It would get nasty hanging in my garage.

    That's cool, Shelley! Now I'm trying to figure out where I've got an extra 5 ft of wall to do this on! :D

    That's a great idea. :-)
    I have 2 rolls that are still stored in the original boxes they were shipped in. :roll:
