I have had several mug trees in the past and when I saw this idea I was excited. You can always find your scissors and if you are like me, you have several pair you can grab at a moments notice.
I am also very big on not always having storage solutions on my horizontal surfaces. After a time, there is no place to work. So having things hang above your workspace is a great idea. The PVC in this great caddy for pencils, pens, paint brushes, colored pencils, etc. is easy to make and the PVC is inexpensive to buy at your local hardware or lumber store. I think it would be cute to experiment with contact paper or paint to coordinate with your personality or your room. This would also work great for the kids above their desk or homework/art area.
And then there are all those templates and specialty acrylic rulers we have with no easy way to store them. This quick idea I love because I have a cute longer hook I was wondering what I could use it for when BAM! I saw this idea. The hangars (curtain rings) are in the curtain area in a store like JoAnn Fabrics or WalMart and run about $3-4 for 10 each to a dozen depending on the size ring you get. Now I know where all my little rulers are. I also keep the cardboard instructions all attached on one of the hangars at the back, just in case I need to refer to instructions.
I hope you enjoyed a few of these ideas. If you have others, share them please. You can always go to Pinterest and do a search for more ideas. Let me tell you it is very addicting.....I Love It!!
Happy Stitching!

Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteLove that way to hand some of my rulers! I too have to try to keep things off the horizontal surfaces- otherwise I have no where to work! but I have limited wall space as my sewing area is a loft. But I have room for that!
