I've been rearranging my stamp area and I'm not sure what to do with my punches. I don't really want to just stick them in a drawer - I like to see them - they inspire me! Is there some way to hang them? How do you "display" your punches?
Would love to know what others do to b/c mine are all in a drawer too and if I buy one more they are just not going to fit in that drawer any more. I hate to say I am done buying punches
I have all my punches in "punch hangers." They're made by cropper-hopper I think. They're black with clear vinyl pockets in different sizes for the different size punches and they hang over a door. I LOVE having all my punches visible and ready to use -- so far I have 3 of these babies and love 'em! HTH!
I have all my Whale size punches stored in a canvas style shoe holder/organizer w/net style pockets that you can see through. It hangs on the back of my craft room door. I can see all of them for inspiration. I got it at Walmart for under $10. (It has 24 pockets)
You can find them at Crafters Toy Box or Jenny Craft websites. They are usually priced about $30 (in retails stores), but both of these places sell them for $14.99 each plus shipping. I have 4 of them (2 sm/med, and 2 med/lg) and I wouldn't store my punches any other way. I do not however have them hanging from the back side of a door I have them hanging on one of the walls in my stamp room. HTH & good luck.

I have all mine tossed into a wicker basket on a bookshelf. I have so many of them it was the only practical way to have them all out. Plus with them in the open I think to use them more.

I have some in a drawer, some on a little shelf with some individual stamps, some in a shoebox style plastic box, one with it's matching stamps in the tin.... I guess I need to read this thread and decide on a way to get these babies organized!!!!

I'm struggling with this same question. And I scrap/ stamp in an unfinished basement so there is no place to hang an over the door organizer.
I too stamp in an unfinished basement and use the over the door shoe holder. I just cut long lengths of ribbon, put it through the gromit holes in the shoe holder and tied them to the rafters in the basement. I got mine at the hardware store. Works gret for me.
well i just bought a new storage cart cuz I don't have much room for my stuff, we live in a teeny apt. But it's a clear drawer and so I can see them. I was putting them away and realized I bought two double hole punches! WHOOPS!!! Guess it pays to check before you just go buying things!!

How do you store your punches?
