Rubber Stamp Storage/organization

Dianna Holmes
by Dianna Holmes
I had seen a tip from someone who used ziploc storage bags and lightweight cardboard or chipboard for their rubber stamps. I used the tip for awhile until a neighbor bought sheer curtains. As the curtains were taken from the zippered bags a light bulb went off in my head. Now whenever I run across some in a thrift store I snatch them up!
For the time being, I hang them on the end of a shelf of a wire shelving unit.
You can see them hanging in this pic in the upper right.
I do have them organized by theme if I have enough of one theme to do so.
The bag on the left has clear stamps in it, some of which are in their original packaging. The bag on the right contains the clear blocks to use with the clear stamps.
Then, I had another light bulb moment! CD cases! I removed the insides and use them to store the smaller clear stamps! I store them in a small sterlite container. But when I get more of these curtain packages I'll likely store them there.


I am planning on purchasing a pegboard. i have a variety of pegs from having a pegboard before.

    Great organization idea! Craft stuff is so easily a mess!

      @Hannah V Thank you! It is ...I make a bad enough mess on my own. Add in a couple of 7 & 8 year old grandkids..wow.

    So clever! I know - I also save those; they're too good to throw away!

      @Miriam I I always hung onto them too! I knew they would be useful some day.
