Loose Stamp Storage?
I have a small craft area in my home and I'm thinking of buying a couple of tall bookcases for storage to replace what I have. I have quite a few loose or individual wood mounted rubber stamps and I would like to display them like you might see them displayed at the craft store. Does anyone have theirs displayed like this? Do you have any pictures of this or links to pictures I can view? Right now I have everything loose in a tub and I forget what I have and then when I want something I can't find what I'm looking for! Don't you hate that? So I thought on a bookcase standing might be nice, but would love some suggestions first. Thanks!!!!
You can get the tiered spice trays to take advantage of more of each shelf. I've seen mostly the kind that have 3 steps, maybe there are some with more. This way you can get multiple layers back to front and still be able to see all the stamps.
If the stamps are unmounted, you could use the cling sheets & store them in binders. I'm useless when it comes to storing wood mounted though - mine are in tubs too.
I had my husband build me a shelf to display my stamps like in a stamp store. It didn't take him very long to build. It's not very fancy, but it was exactly what I wanted. I have pictures of my craft room in my gallery and there is a picture of my shelf.
