Shoe Rack Craft Punch Storage

by

Punching Martha Stewart…Martha Stewart Punches

I rarely go to garage sales, but this morning I was on my way to Lowe’s to get some bead board for another project and I was summoned by a sign announcing “Huge Garage Sale”.  Sometimes the stars align just right and you get pointed in the direction of a great sale.  LOL!

I was so excited to find the perfect thing for my craft punches and for only FIVE DOLLARS!!  (Say what?!)  Yes, FIVE DOLLARS!

$5 Garage Sale Shoe Rack

Behind the shoe rack is some of the bead board I just had cut at Lowes.

Here it is!!  (What? It’s just a shoe rack.  You got us all excited over a shoe rack?)  Well, wait until you see how awesome it is at non-shoe storage!


Oh, how I hope you hovered over the above photo and read my pop up. 😉

Shoe Rack Become Paper Punch Storage

You are so shoe-rack-beautiful to me…

TA DA!!!  Well, whaddya think?  I super love this shoe rack turned punch rack.
It’s SHOERIFFIC…PUNCH A LICIOUS…GREAT!  Some of my punches didn’t really fit so I’m keeping them in one of the black buckets I showed you here.  I’m down to one bucket now though!  YAY!  I realized that if I can’t see the the punches, I rarely use them.  Hopefully, I’ll use them more now that they are displayed and easy to grab.

Another Punch Storage Idea

 A lot of people store their punches on over-the-door shoe holders like this one: Over The Door Clear Shoe Organizer.  That’s a great idea too!

  3. I would not have thought of that, thanks for all the great ideas for those of us that don't think outside the box lol

  4. I have a wooden cd or video rack that I have hung on my wall above my desk. I keep my cricut cartridges in it. They are similar in size to videos so they fit perfectly. The other thing I love are old printer boxes. I have mounted 2 of those on my wall above my desk and they are perfect for stamps. Hope someone finds these ideas helpful.

    • Annied, I LOVE your cd/video rack idea!! I better stay away from garage sales for a while or I'll be snapping up all the cd/video racks that I see. AWESOME storage ideas! ~Joy~

  6. What a great idea for storing these. Mine right now are all over the place, in a drawer, in my traveling paper tote pockets....I have to try to remember where I have them stored when I want to use them. Time to look into another option, this one looks good.

  7. What a great idea Joy! Of course mine are stored differently.... My hubby built me a rotating punch holder.... ;) I LOVE that thing.... Of course I've out grown it and told him I would like another one... He thinks I'm NUTS! LOL I think I would need a 5 foot rotating punch holder instead of a 2 1/2 ft. one! LOL I'm soooo addicted to punches! ugh! Have a great day! ;) Theresa

    • WOW Theresa!! A rotating punch holder! A 5 foot rotating punch holder? Ok, you're hubby is awesome to make that! How cool! Here's hoping he builds you a 5 ft one. :) ~Joy~

  10. Annied! Wow thanks SO much for the video rack idea! As soon as I read it I spun around in my chair and looked to the top of my 12x12 pigeon hole wall and there it is... My old school video drawers! Whoop! Now I just have to wait for hubby to finish washing the dog so he can reach up to get it down for me :/ Why oh why was I born without patience?

  11. PS Joy, you ROCK! I am sending John out to the garage right after he gets down my video drawers to build me something similar!
