Any ideas for displaying punches?
Hi.. my stash of punches are getting numerous... and I HATE digging in my storage drawer hunting a punch... Any ideas about how to put them out in view so it would be easy to grab one when I need it?
God bless Nyoka |
I have mine in an over the door plastic shoe rack. i got mine at Target. I had DH drill holes into a board, then he put a huge bolt and washer into the board, then screwed the board into the studs in the wall, now my rack is nice and sturdy and VERY heavy, I can't see it coming off the wall or anything anytime soon. love mine!

I've seen some stamping spaces here on SCS where they use pretty towel bars, I think they are from IKEA. The larger punches look great displayed on these!

Just recently someone here posted a pic of a really nice idea that really shows them off. Found it!

I have a lot of punches and I have them stored in two Punch Pals by Crop in Style and a shoe organizer from Target...picture below.
The shoe organizer I hung from Command adhesive hooks...despite the fact that the organizer weighs a ton, the hooks are holding just great! The Punch Pals are no longer being manufactured by Crop in Style...I did a search online and it looks like the best way to find one is Ebay. There are a few online stores that still list them, but one in particular that has a name something like a number plus the word stop plus a shape is to be avoided at all costs. ;) |
Check out papertreyink.com she had a whole post on this a while back and had many ideas

I purchased this rack from my LLS that is closing. It is a three-sided spinning wire grid on wheels. Turned out to be perfect for my punches!

I actually have had the same problem as my attention has shifted to the punches from stamp sets. I use a basket I already had (Longaberger) to display them in. I'd love to hang them but my craft area/office is in the living room and there isn't much wall space or a door to hang some of the other ideas.

Some people have asked which Longberger basket I am using and honestly I don't know :rolleyes: My sister gave me most of her baskets that haven't been used in years. It is dated 1996 on the bottom and it has handles on hinges. The measurements are 18x11x4 1/2 inches if that helps. I'm working on other ways to use them with my stamping supplies. Hope that helps some of you that have baskets already.

This is the system I use, and I wish I had more wall space too! :) Anyway, I love the way i can see the punches and it makes me use them more often when I don't have to dig for them in a bin I used to use! I used to use the shoe organizer, but the punches get kind of weighty and the shoe organizer I had wasn't very supportive. |
