I store my stencils by size on the metal shower rings. The rings fit on the rod in my closet and I place them against the wall so they don't curl. Wow, mom3 your system sounds great if you have a large inventory. I don't have that many to look through so the shower rings work fine for me. I have heard the some people use the belt ring hanger for theirs so that you can remove just the one you want from the ring.
