I reused a desktop letter holder/sorter. Not sure what you call them. Works great! Each slot is rasied higher like steps.I'm sure the are around $8-10 range in an office supply store.

They are wire holders that holds 45's or albums. I think they may be antique since I haven't seen records in the stores for years.
|
I was lucky enough to buy and old wooden letter rack for $2.00 at an op shop (yes it's deep enough)
|
I bought a rack from and for my accuquilt dies. and when I got it i thought well that was a waste of good money when I could have gone to wall mart and bought a rack for dishes or something similar. I use it for my dies and all my rulers.

I made a canvas hanger for the back of the door with pockets for each ruler. I used a pattern from By Annie and modified the pockets to fit my collection of rulers.

One has my two rotary cutters, another some odds and ends of tools, and the middle one has my calculator.
Another re-purposed item is one of those brass newspaper holders you keep at the fireplace. Solid and heavy and great for holding pattern books. Me too! Workes great and I keep my file with my sewing machine book close at hand for easy refference. |

I use an old sliced bread cutter by placing them in the slots and also a bread board holder.

Okay, I went to the local Salvation Army Store and the Goodwill Store and bought record holders and file folder holders for less than $1.00 (.50 to be exact) and then put all my rulers and square measures in them in my storage area (the basement). Also, check out those garage sales, you can re-purpose lots of stuff to work for our quilting needs.

I found a plate shelf at a thrift store.. with a groove in it... had my husband add more grooves about 1/2 in apart.. works great..
