I don't have a door that I can use like that, and I think that my punches combined might be too heavy as well. At the moment they are still all just in an underbed storage box which is under my sewing/craft table. I really want something better though. You asked for pictures, so here is a link to mine! http://joanne-mainlyflowers.blogspot.com/2008/04/storing-punches.html Looks good Michelle.

Usually the shape is displayed on top of the punch, but punching one out and displaying behind helps, and if you put it back in the same place always, and you lend it out or misplace it, it would remind you what to look for. I have a book that a friend gave me, that isn't too large, but in it, it has sections to put samples of colors, punches, stamps, marker pens etc. that I have so I could take it with me shopping to refer to and then not duplicate, or duplicate if needed. It is called the Stamping Companion by B & B Printing Graphics. Takes some effort to keep it up tho. Love your work Michelle!! Fabulous!

HOWEVER I just was in a scrapping store and they had taken this idea to the next level. They had slipped a piece of white cardstock into the back of each slot (sits behind the punches) and it sticks up above the pocket and on it they had punched out in black paper the actual punch design and pasted it to the top of the white cardstock. It is MUCH easier to see where your punches are. I just love it. I would put a pix but I don't know how! ha! i have done the same thing that you have for your punches, several months ago … HOWEVER I just was in a scrapping store and they had taken this idea to the next level.

Mine is clear vinyl rather than netting and is hung in the closet rather than over the door but it is pretty full (including several heavy Marvy scallop punches) and no problems with it coming apart at the seams ......... yet!

I'm looking for a more visible storage solution because I have bought the same punch a few times! I really like the idea of the "behind the door" storage BUT I'm concerned about the weight on this shoe hanger. Please keep us updated on how this is working for you - my feeling is that it would stretch over time and drag behind the door and possibly come apart at the seams? Have you seen the narrow shelving or even towel bars that you can install on the wall space behind your door? My dad is coming out for a visit and I may have him build something (on the wall behind the door) to house my wheels and punches. If so I'll be sure to share that!

All of my craft things are in plastic drawers. My punches take up 4 of the drawers. I only have a corner of a large room for my craft things. Not much room - too many things!
