I did this and ended up with 50 holes in the wall. I am not allowed to use nails. I have some hanging with the removable hangers. But they are very expensive. They hold 40 lbs, and I can put more than on ruler on each hanger. I purchased them at Lowe's. |
Because I am going from one area to another piecing, cutting etc I have mats and rulers constantly floating. To help I took a long piece of card board. Used the clear heavy gage plastic table cover plastic folded the top of the plastic down to stiffen it more and wrapped the lower 1/2 of the card board and taped it to the back. With a piece of ribbon through a pocket of bent back cardboard at the top I have hung it from a large thumb tack. In the pocket I store the smaller cutting grids and rulers. They are at my finger tips and off the ironing board. Smaller rulers, pencils etc are in a shoe type hanger. Over sewing areas they often get a ribbon strung through and hung on a nail or hook.

You can also get one of these (silver or black mesh) at the dollar store. They work fine.

My DH made me a rack for the wall -- piece of cherry about 6x12" -- he routed slots in the wood end to end. He also made one slot thicker for LA rulers. Put a brace under it and hung it on the wall. Easy and cheap!

I have a closet, double wide for storing my fabric and supplies. Some kind reader, submitted a storage suggestion some time back, you may want to click on the search and type in storage. I love the hint that she gave, to use skirt hangers, with metal close pins. They are perfect , because I have the white open wire storage shelf's.
