Stencil storage
 
I would like to store my stencils on or in something handy so I could just go through them and see which one I want. How do all of you do this?

All my stencils have the hole at the top. I keep them on a ring that separates at the bottom. I just rotate the stencils until the one I want is at the opening and get it off. The ring hangs in my sewing room closet. My ring came from upholstery sample book. [ATTACH=CONFIG]564603[/ATTACH]If you can find one of the ring belt holders, they also work.

I have mine in a large storage container with large cuts of fabric. But I really like Tartan's idea. I need to see if I have a few of those rings somewhere.

I drove a nail into the inside of my storage closet that holds them all through the hole in the top. They are in a place that they can not get scraped or rumpled. For smaller ones, I have a little drawer

Two pieces of cardboard taped together like a file folder works fine for me!
Keeps them nice and flat in between uses, and tucks away nicely in between needs.

I do it this way too

I have mine on a ring and then hang them on a pegboard hook.

I have my old briefcase with file folders. Makes it easy to keep track of them.

I have mine in those big manilla envelopes. Then I have written on the outside what ones are in the envelope. I also have 2 nails on the wall holding my most used stencils

I hang mine on the wall beside my chair on a Command hook. They are always right beside me and I can go through them whenever I want to. :-)
