    I have couple cup hooks screwed into the edge of a shelf and a letter holder for the smaller ones.

    Gosh, what a lot of great ideas! I am going to make use of them today and get my rulers up off the floor! Thanks so much to all of you.

    I have two 24" rulers that I hang, the rest are in one of those tall scrapbook paper storage files, it's about 14" wide, 16" tall and 5" deep and has hanging folders. I actually have 2 of these, one I use for rulers/templates the other holds my embroidery hoops. I know I got one at Joann's & one at a thrift storem

    My DH built my fabric storage cabinet's, and used peg board for the top half of he doors. Because of cabinet's and shelving I do not have free wall space or extra counter space, I hang as much as I can. If your rulers do not have a hole you can drill one.

    I have peg board to hang my rulers and other stuff on. Do you have a door to your sewing room? Don't over look the back of the door for hanging things with command strips or screws/nails. You can also use the dollar store skirt hangers to clamp on the top of big rulers to hang in the closet. You can also use the metal shower rings to go through the hole in the ruler and then hang the shower hook in the closet.

    I have these narrow shelves that are meant for pictures. My rulers are nicely stacked on those. But I must say that it isn't as well organized as the wall hooks.

    I have a computer desk in my sewing room for my TV and other items - the part that is meant for the keyboard I use for my rulers. They lay flat . I don't have any rulers longer than 24 inches so there is plenty of room. My small rulers/templates that are under 8 inches I keep in a drawer. I would love to hang them but don't have the wall space.

    I use cup hooks
    Now that I look at them in a photo, I can see they are not technically a cup hook. More like a cup hook straightened.
