I have a small stand meant to hold about 30 or so spools of thread. it is plastic, cost about $2 and holds tons of rulers on my cutting board. The longest ruler I have is 24 inches and the shortest is 2 1/2 and they all fit (I also have some odd shapes too)
|
I have a small rack I bought at the office supply store for holding binders or books. I keep it on the shelf over my table and my rulers are right there to grab.
My larger ones?? My 3x18 rulers just sit to the side of my sewing table (don't use these much other than lines for quilting). My large 6x24, 12x12, bigger ones, I just keep on a shelf next to my cutting table.. those aren't so organized. |
I have 3 large baker's racks in my sewing room. They hold my fabrics, bins of scraps, magazines etc. On the ends of the bakers racks, I cut pegboard to fit and attached it with zip ties. I hang my rulers, scissors, rotary cutters, quilting hoops, etc. on pegboard hooks on the pegboard. I also saw a post on the board recently where a smart quilter picked up an old wire record holder from a thrift store and uses that to store her rulers in.

I have a big peg board on the wall. it's not pretty, but it works great.
|
I put my rulers on cheap shower curtain rings and hang them on anything handy like a board with pegs on it. If there is no hole in the ruler, I put them in a clear bag and do the same thing.

my husband took a piece of scrap wood, cut ridges in the wood length wise and then sanded and stain it. Looks so good! Trouble is, I need him to make me another one! YIKES

I bought molding and attached to the wall. Then using the rulers as measurer I used finishing nails to use as hangers. Only the two nails attaching the molding are into the wall.
|
My husband took a piece of board and put slots in it for my rulers. It works well.

A large O ring, hung on an S hook, works for me. Very little expenditure. Of course, I have a few with no holes at the top. They are stacked in an in-coming, out-going metal thing. Available at any Staples or Office Depot. Anyone still have toast racks? Would that work?
