Punch Storage - any suggestions?

[FairyAuntMother]

Hi There!

I'm reorganizing my closet yet again. I have to keep all my scrapbooking and other craft supplies in there - currently I have all my punches tossed into a basket. There is no way to organize them in anyway just tossed in there.

How do you store your punches? I'm looking for a way to keep them sorted and organized so that I'll know what I have and be able to get to them when I need them.

Thanks in advance! I'm sure someone out there has the solution to this!

I store my punches in a clear plastic box that I got at the craft store. It's a flat briefcase style box that I can easily see both sides of the punches through.

Now, if I could just find something for my pesky, odd shaped, multi-sized stamps!

I am a Stampin Up demonstrator, and this was not my idea, so I cannot take credit BUT awesome.

For your punches with the thumb press area if you will, hang them over a curtain rod mounted to the wall. This is great for even the Whale of a Punch jumbo ones. The pic I saw, showed 2 or 3 different sizes mounted directly to the wall under each other. I will try to track it down and if you email me, I will get it to you. We leave next Fri for our Disney trip, so I cannot promise before then, unless my twin sons give me some Mommy time to search the computer. Hope the idea inspires many.
Stay well,
AnnMarie

Did the stamp lady really just stop by and not give any stamp storage tips!?

I have the Crop-In-Style Punch Pal. It hangs over the door. I found mine at Tuesday Mornings for $8 or so.

I suggest an over the door shoe hanger - you can find the clear ones pretty cheap at Walmart or Target . You can even fit the really big punches in there too. Nice about this too is that you can fit some of your other supplies in these pocket too, so if you don't have SO many punches to fill it up, you can also put in there specialty scissors or extra adhesive refills.

I use the door shoe hanger also. It works great for punches!!

Thanks!! I'm going to try the over the door shoe hanger.

Just what I needed - another reason to go to Target! I already spend too much time there.

Thanks again!!

Love the idea of the shoe hanger - not sure how it will add to our dining room though But it would free up loads of space in my big Cm bag

I store my punches in the plastic totes you can get at target that have multiple levels. I usually get them around Christmas so they have a green lid. LOL They also have matching ones for ribbon that has a slot for you to pull it through.
