Great utilization of a bargain priced find.

Now, that's using yer noggin'! :thumbup: You could always grab a can of spray paint to make it the color of your choice, too! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful idea! :thumbup:

Why didn't I think of that before I went out and bought two of those wooden holders. :?

the rack you purchased are old record holders i was just cleaning at my dads house the other day and found about 10 of them sitting in the closet too funny

great idea! I will start looking for something like this. I bought a ring on a hanger and do not like it. I have to take off the little plastic cap to thread the rulers, then take them all off to get to the one I want. Plus they are not protected from damage on the hanger.

NICE!

I love your afghan, roberta. I had a blonde affie who dies from lung cancer. I really do miss her.

I looked for one of these a few years ago to use for my rulers. I gave up looking. People didn't even know what I was talking about. So, I had a friend make one of wood for me. I love being able to reach right for the ruler i want.

Wow I need to find one,,,that is a great idea!

Looks like this was originally a record rack..

Love that idea... I don't think you are cheap, I think you're brilliant! Keep the ideas coming! Now, I need to look for one of those. Goodwill, here I come!
