I made a piece of cardboard and lined it with magnetic tape, then I use a CD case to store all of them. The CD case that has the pages inside. It then zips up and is all contained. I really like it I will try to post a pic.

Reason: to add a picture

I'd love to see a picture of this -- I need a visual!!!! Please post one if you can. I have Nestabilities coming and need to figure out storage.
Ok I posted pics in my gallery for my Nestibilities CD storage. I also posted some of my stamp area. I couldn't figure out how to put in a thumbnail on this thread my picture was too big. Any ideas? But you should be able to view my gallery tomorrow. I think they need to be approved before you can see them.

Hi! I checked out your gallery ... that is a great way to store them! Same idea as the CD cases, but it zips up ... thanks for sharing the pictures! Sometimes I just need a visual!
I use CD cases with magnetic tape. You can put 2 sets in each case - one on each side. For example, small and large circles, small and large scalloped circles, etc.
I've been using this method since they came out and it works for me!

I've been storing mine in CD cases, but I'm planning on makeing a storage system like a bulletin board covered in magnetic tape so I can store them on the wall right above my Big Kick. I haven't made it yet, but this is my idea.
Instead of purchasing magnetic tape....just recycle those magnetic business cards that you get in the mail and one your phone books. Free and they work just great.

Yep, I used those too.

I hope the pics post correctly since this is my first time trying to do this. I use a magnetic binder from quicKutz. They were normally around $12 at HL but then I used my 40% off coupon so they were a lot cheaper. I plan on organizing any new ones I may get like this as well. It is easy for me to have access to all the sizes of a particular shape this way because I don't always know what size I will end up actually using.

Wow. what a great idea. I'm off to buy one of these storage cases. Thanks

M's does not carry QK, but lots os online stores do.
I really do love this storage system. I have 12 sets of large nestabilities and they fit perfectly in 2 super thin books.
I can take them to crop with me and they take no space at all.
I just bought this at Hobby Lobby today using the 40% off coupon. (The magnetic book.) I hadn't read your post or else I would have been looking for the wand too. They only had the one magnetic storage book so I put it in my cart and wandered around. I was trying to decide if this was something that I HAD to have.. since I do have some magnetic calendars already that I can use in the CD cases that the nestabilities come with. Granted, I don't actually have any nestabilities, but I did order some from Cutathome last week and I will be ordering more this week with April's coupon. Anyhow, I was thinking this would be a nice way to store ALL of the sets I buy in one place.
I'll have to check back at Hobby Lobby to see if they carry the magnetic wand.

Thanks Kimberly. I might be able to hit Hobby Lobby monday too so I'll check there.
When I was at the LSS on Monday, they had this storage book too -- even in PINK! I didn't buy it then because I wanted to think about it. HL had it only in black, although maybe they had the other color but it was just sold out.

OK, so I really liked the CD wallet idea, but couldn't find one that I really liked. So I bought the inserts for the CD wallet and am using my BIA to make my own book! I punched all the holes and have the nesties in the little sleeves, but I need to get a bigger coil before I can bind it. I also have to figure out how I want to decorate it. Hopefully I will get the right size coil on Monday and get it all done that night. I am so excited! I get to combine my nesties with my BIA!!
i broke down and bought the tins from gina k and magnetic paper from staples that will make it easier to organize as i have alot of regular spellbinders also
I love that QuikKutz idea - and 8�x11 storage works best for me for just about everything I've found... but I was too impatient to order the QuikKutz and wait -
So I took a thin piece of 8�x11 cardboard (the kind that is in cardstock packs in the back) and ran it through my big Xyron with the laminate/magnet cartridge twice (so magnet was on both sides) - then trimmed it down a bit smaller than 8�x11, cut 1/2 inch off the top of 2 sheet protectors and slid the magnet sheets with my nesties and wizard dies stuck to it into the sheet protectors and put them in a plastic 3-prong portfolio.
Works perfect and I didn't spend a dime or have to wait!!
Easy to see every set, flip through them, easy to pull the sheet in and out of the sheet protector and keep everything safe, clean and compactly stored!
So easy to please me Thanks for the idea!!

Oh I'd rather have pink. I'm doing my scraproom in pink and green. I might check HL but if they don't have the pink I'll look online. No LSS around here but there might be one in the town that HL is in.
I went to the Quickutz website and apparently I was wrong about seeing this in pink. It only comes in white or black. I must have been thinking about the storage binders for the smaller dies. Oops!!

I also store mine in CD cases with the magnetic tape. I added a cover that slides into the inside of the CD case with the die cuts. This works great, at a quick glance you know exactly what you have. Here is a link to my blog with some pictures. http://embellished-dreams.blogspot.c...organzied.html
Here is how I store my MegaNestabilities (scroll down past the technique and the card) I have added the magnetic tape to the inserts from the packaging. http://embellished-dreams.blogspot.c...e-reverse.html
HTH! ;)
I've found the most perfect way to store my Nestabilities. I've tried some of the ideas previously suggested but have found this to be a perfect, compact way to store them (and you don't need any magnetic strips).
I have a photo on my blog if you want to see what I've done. There is an explanation as well.
There is a local Japanese discount store and they sell document holders. They are perfect for storing my PTI dies and nestabilities. I line them with magnet sheets. They completely close and don't take up a lot of space.

They used to be 98 cents and under, but prices have gone up. Most things are $1.89 and under, but they have some specialty things that are more than that. They have some very unusual items, but I have been able to find some great things for my crafts!
These folders are $1.89, but they hold a lot. They are 9" wide, 12.5" long, and about 3/8" thick. They are very sturdy and in my opinion, are well made. The only thing is that there is a built in clip, so there is a hole in the back of it. I cover it with my magnet sheet, so things will not fall out. They come in clear, pink and blue.
I would be willing to get some for you if you would like! They would be close to $2 each with tax, and of course, plus shipping. Just let me know!

I have a 7 drawer Iris cart with the drawers labeled for the nesties as follows:
borders
shaped nested dies (owl, fish etc)
Pendant dies
Label sets
Combo dies (they have embossing and separate die)
Shapeabilities
Nested shapes
The bottom two drawers on this Iris cart are deep so I have lots of nesties in them. Soon I will have to spill over into another cart...
blessings.
My Nestie Storage. I got the box at walmart for $6. Make my tabbed cards and laminate them. Magnet also bought at Walmart. I think it is 2.15 per pack, 2 sheets of 5x8 or 5x7 sheets.
