Default Stencil storage

In addition to mediums and stamps I've acquired a good many 6x6 stencils. Any suggestions as to how to store them?

I have stencils in all sizes and weights and like Lydia, want to see what I have and don't want to have to deal with stencils getting tangled with each other. What's working for me, at the moment, is having them in clear plastic page protectors, those are joined on a ring, and the ring is on a hook near my stamp space. I have a few of the BoBunny stickable stencils and I just leave them in their original packaging on their own hook next to the others.

I'm using a similar system- plastic document folders,as each page had a paper liner, I get two stencils per pocket. I can see what I have, and they don't tangle. My TH ones are just on a ring hanging on my wall.

Default Solution found!

I found a solution that will work for me. I'm using 12x12 protector pages with 4- 6x6 pockets per page... The 6x6 stencils fit perfectly. As for the larger Hero Arts stencils I slip them in the bottom pockets so the overlap is protruding from the top pockets.
I found them in a clearance bin at my local scrapbook store for $2.50 a pk.
They are on sale at Joann's today if you're interested.
