OMG, that is such a great idea! I have two drawers full of stuff that could benefit from such a thing. I've been wondering how I could get more storage off the floor and get rid of some of these plastic storage binds and this would work perfectly - I can see it now done with all my scrapies. Hope you don't mind if I copy your idea; its GREAT! Thanks for sharing.

We sure think alike. I've been trying to come up with a better solution for these items than what I'm using. I totally agree with you that a smaller version would save buying more.
I also find I need to mark rolls with what they are since if I don't use them for awhile I forget what they are.

Boy, do I know what you mean about that! I can't tell you how many times I've pulled a roll of stablizer out had had to try to tear it to see if it was tear-away or not; and if not...then what, exactly, could it be?

Thank you for sharing. I will book mark this for whenever I do my sewing room. I hope that I can do it soon. I would love to see a little tutorial if you have the time.

Great idea.

I save salvages and use them to tie up rolls of stuff. I think you could write on them what you are tying up to keep track. Just an idea.
