Right now I have them all in a clear storage box but it is starting to drive me nuts because I keep collecting more and more punches. How do you store yours, and if you have a picture show me? Thanks
All my large punches are in a clear shoe holder (Target for $5.00). Best investment - I love it! I have some smaller ones in there (the ones I'd tend to use the most) but then the others are just in plastic containers.
I have a heavy duty plastic see-thru shoe rack thing that hangs on the door. I can see all the punches.. the big ones I sit handle to handle in each pouch. I have many, many punches that I store in that baby. They are out of the way and yet close at hand when I need them.

I bought one of the three-drawer white laminate drawer units from Target to store punches. Plastic drawers seemed to sag under the weight, but the laminate drawers are great. I put the whole thing on the floor under my table (a 6-foot folding table from Office Depot) and find it incredibly convenient and easy to access there.

This is what I was going to try and now I'm excited. Thanks for the input.

I recently bought the heavy duty towel bars from IKEA and love them. I like that I can hang their baskets or shelving from them so the bars do double duty. I don't have to worry about them sagging from the weight like the light weight curtain rods I bought before. Love 'em!
Scroll down - SusanP posted a website that sells them!
That's what i use for mine too which i have 3 full and then my large mega - giga and the one's that won't fit i use the Target Cubes that are the regular drawers - They work great. I think it fits 8 of the extra large size punches..
So for those of you with rods (thank you by the way) do your punches ever fall? That would be my biggest worry, and most of my punches are the mega SU ones. Also, now I don't feel so bad, I thought I was the winner of the most punches, but Susan, you win.
I do the rod thing as well as of this past winter,they stay put only have the large ones up will have to do the small ones I know I have a spare rod. I find it more convienient then a box or drawer and have them at hand. No I have not had them fall,got the idea here,another nameless hero in my eyes.
Here's how I store mine--had this thing from Ikea laying around that I used to have my utensils hanging on in my kitchen. Never threw it away 'cause I knew I might use it for something...just didn't know what. Saw something similar in the Stampin' Spaces gallery and Voila! It has become my fab punch rack!! I think it was a couple dollars or something. I need to get another!!
I love the curtain rod idea! I haven't done it yet, my punches are still in a drawer. Next time I hit Target or WalMart, I'll have to run by and pick up a curtain rod.
Your punches, how do you store them?
Ikea utensil racks are great and super cheap!
