I have a board to and bat thingys as well.
I bought mine at Home Depot and they are kinda expensive. Then I found a whole boxe ful of use at a yard sale for $2. J J |
Mine did not come with the batty things and they do fall out all the time.

I sure would like to see a picture of that. I've been trying to decide how to hang my rulers.

Now that you have your metal doo-hickies, be on the look out for screw driver doo-hickies for your peg board. They are a little metal loop for holding screwdrivers but I like them for other things. You can get several pairs of scissor stuck through one. There are lots of neat metal accessories for peg board, look them over and re-purpose them.

I have one too, but I glued wooden dowels in mine. Works like a charm!

Store Fixtures
Look up "store fixtures or store displays" we have a local store:) that supplies the retail market in our area. I have been able to go in and buy whatever I need to display items in my new collection of sewing/quility vintage items. The hooks, holders, hanging tabs, acrylic displays, etc. I also have about 900+ set of S&P shakers on display:thumbup:. With this mild winter, I have been able to open up the guest room windows and work on creating one corner of my sewing santuary at a time. I am considering putting up the white/slatboard walls next.

Hello!
I finally got a nice size 4x6 piece of white pegboard hanging in my 'room'. Now the search is on for all of the correct size gadget-dolittle-thing-a-ma-bobs. Of course, a trip to ace hardware....in the rain...no problem as I am on a mission! Now they only had some of this and some of that. So I spent too much on that and this. I'm talking about those little hanger push in metal do higgies. Ya know, those things your hubbies hoard and cherish! So after much moola speant, I am still finding space on my new big white super dooper hanger pegboard thingy. Alas, I a running short on those little metal creatures and am devising a way to get much more online. There is something strange in some of those packets, I must warn y'all. They are small and black and look like little BATS! I guess they are suppose to permanently hold the metal thingys to their proper perspective holes. But I am only at the beginning of my organizational journey and want nothing to to with those batty things, I even refuse to read their directions. They are captured in a ziplock bag and now are hanging on their own little metal do-jobber, encased in an airtight prison, until called out for duty. So, has anyone else been through this fun dilemma? Any and all advice is welcomed! (not bat jokes, please...lol) |
I bought dowel rods to fit the holes and cut then the length I needed and then I glued them in the holes and all my thread is now on the wall. Plus another piece of pegboard is holding a lot of other notions and I can see it all.

good luck with all that and when you get it mastered could you come for a visit. I have no skills for being organized..actually not sure how I would find anything if I didn't have to look.

Good tip. I have lots of paper clips. Can't hang thread from them but rulers, cutting boards, etc can hang on them. Thanks for this tip.

y'all know, i'm sure, in a pinch you can use twisted open paperclips
helps you to figure out the layout and to estimate what you need of each kind |
I've been able to find the metal pegboad hanger thingys at my local thrift store - a huge bag stuffed full for $2 - there were probably well over 100 of them in there, in different sizes. Just a thought :)
