I am sure as being someone new that this may already been discussed. But what are your ideas on storing all of your rulers. I have mine all set behind my mail holder and they are always falling down. I thought about buying one of those wooden ruler holders but don't want to spend the money until I investigate further. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I store mine in a plastic 3 drawer unit that I bought a Walmart.

I have one of the wooden ruler racks and love it. I have it on my cutting table against a wall so the tall rulers rest on the wall and never have any problems with it. For me it was a great investment.

Mine are stuck everywhere. I have the smaller ones in a basket and the big squares ones hanging but what to do with the long narrow ones? I have a wooden ruler holder but it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Mine are hanging on a peg board.

I hang mine on a nail in the wall according to size, the square ones are in a drawer. They stay nice and straight this way. Ugly Cook, you do have an awesome husband. That's a fabulous ruler rack :-)

Most of mine are standing on a shelf but I have to pull them all out to get the right one.

Space is a consideration for me. I also like to see all the shapes and sizes. I got a little creative. I used pushpins and made up groupings on the walls in areas that were accessible 'dead space'----behind the door, between the closet and bookcase, and some inside the deep closet and hung them that way.

I'm getting ready to move, lease is up and we're not renewing, so where ever I get to set up again, I'll come up with a way to store the smaller rulers that can't hang that currently are in a drawer, hidden, and I don't like that.

Oh, this way with a push pin, it doesn't leave huge holes. I don't have the floor space for a holder nor do I have table space to accommodate all my rulers.
