My cutting table is on top of two old bookcases so I added a couple of screws on both ends for the rulers I use the most. The longer ones are on one end and the shorter ones are on the other end. The specialty rulers I have on the pegboard right behind me where I do all my cutting so just have to turn around and grab one. Sorry no photo.

Nice ideas. I like being able to see each ruler. I had mine in a tall basket but often miss what I have already. Hubby doesn't want holes in the walls. Then I used the Command type hook, thought I pulled in straight down to change the location and pulled the paint off the wall. I tried the stack dish metal organizer, but rulers fall out.

This gives me an idea.

I use an old file holder that I used on my desk when I worked. You could also use one of the kitchen racks for dinner plates or pot lids. Go to Ikea. I'll bet you can find something in their kitchen department.

I use command hooks on the inside of the closet door in my room. I sew in the master bedroom and took over most of the linen closet in there for quilting storage. Who needs all those sets of sheets anyway! I also have one of the grooved wooden racks that I use in my quilting area for the rulers I'm using on my current project.

I use a letter holder, on clearance at Staples for my long rulers and the smaller rulers that I use often. For the specialty rulers I use a dollar store basket. The instructions go in there, too.

I use one of those metal round things that has a top like a regular hanger I am pretty sure that the original use was for hanging stencils that is where I hang the long rulers the small ones I just use the slotted holder. This works well for me. BTW I also have one for the stencils.
