2nd part of my plact to store rulers and instructions that come w/ them Another thrift store find. It is a media box you can put outside to protect your magazines and such. I like it because it is clear and has a lid :thumbup:

Great idea. I'll have to keep a look out for one. Thanks for sharing.

joyce888 04-22-2011 02:10 PM

Wonderful idea!!

janetter 04-22-2011 02:21 PM

You rock! I ended up with a kitchen cabinet rack used sideways and it is not nearly as clever

Jaos 04-22-2011 02:23 PM

What a great idea! I think I know where there is attic that may be hiding one of those . . . .

Katts 14 04-22-2011 02:40 PM

I remember the old 45 record holder,whata good idea.

malega 04-22-2011 04:11 PM

Real Nifty and its not cheap its spending wisely and you saved oodles the office Depot sells a shorter one for 24.99 =you saved $23 = yardage :thumbup: :thumbup:

hperttula123 04-22-2011 04:57 PM

Great idea - thanks for posting

I like going to the resale shops - looking at stuff - and guessing what I can use it for - that's the best part of going to the shops!... being creative!

fabric whisperer 04-22-2011 05:09 PM

way to go ~ recycle, reuse, repurpose... that's not cheap, that's creative ;)

Mom to One 04-22-2011 05:15 PM

Thanks for the great idea. I'll have to start looking around the thrift shops for one too.

Mommomjoann 04-22-2011 06:12 PM

ButtermilkMama 04-22-2011 06:42 PM

Great idea!!!! Mine are hanging on a long screw!!!!

sewnserge 04-22-2011 07:01 PM

Love it!! Creative, very useful, and sends me back to my high school days and 45 rpm records.... (all you young'uns out there have no idea... think dinosaur mp3......) lol

heather1949 04-22-2011 07:50 PM

GREAT IDEA YOU ARE NOT CHEAP JUST A HAPPY QUILTER.

Sandigraham 04-22-2011 07:58 PM

Clever indeed!

Momsmurf 04-22-2011 08:42 PM

That looks like an old vinyl record holder....good job!

ccearley 04-22-2011 09:36 PM

I use an old wire record holder, too!

chairjogger 04-22-2011 09:42 PM

I think that is an old album rack.. I used my 45 record rack for my drafting templates in the 70's .. yep .. wonderful !!!

chairjogger 04-22-2011 09:43 PM

This is when I can kick myself. I used drafting T square, templates of all shapes and dimensions.. and never thougth of using a pizza cutter to cut fabric! I could be rich ! Whaaaaaaa.

:(

lue 04-22-2011 09:56 PM

My mom (now transitioned) had a silver letter holder that I use to store my rulers. I'm constantly trying to find ways to use what I have.

wanda lou 04-22-2011 09:58 PM

what a great idea.

leiladylei54 04-22-2011 10:30 PM

Aren't you smart!!! Great job thinking beyond the box!!!

joygross 04-22-2011 10:35 PM

What a great idea... I am going to have to find something like that.
