Quick Tip Tuesday: Punch Storage

Hello again and welcome to another Quick Tip Tuesday.

I have a very simple idea for you today. 
I have very limited space in my craft area with limited drawer and no wall space at all.  Since I have acquired quite a few punches with no place to store them,  this is how I do it:
It's an over-the-door shoe bag that I picked up at Walmart.  It works so well for my large and border punches.  My small ones are in the small drawer of a rolling cart, but I got so tired of digging for my large punches in the deeper drawers that this was my solution.

Hope you come back next week for another quick tip.
Hugs and Happy Crafting,
Larelyn

    Great idea! These over the door things can be used for so much! I have one with all my mittens and hats in it :)

    I use the same technique for storing punches! However, I am running out of pouch room! Either I have to stop buying punches or find another door! LOL!!!

    This is exatly what I have done. The smaller ones I put in a large container from Joann's.It holds many of the smaller ones.I also got a small notebook and punched out each punch and taped it in this notebook and keep it in my pocketbook for reference.As for the ones in the large container I also made a sample of each punch and taped it on the container so i know where each punch is located.
