Right now mine are loose in the center drawer of my desk - any suggestions for a good way to store them? Thanks!

I have mine in a drawer too. But I don't think I have to many. Maybe 10 or so. And mine are 12x12 mostly.

Right now I have mine in a 12x12 Studio Calico storage bag. I watched a video tutorial (I think it was Julie Fei-Fan Balzer) and she keeps her stencils in page protectors in a 12x12 binder. I love this system but space is a premium for me right now because I am scrapping in my dining room until we move so an extra 12x12 binder just won't work. But the system she had looked great to my organizing OCD heart.

All of mine are stored in scrapbooks. I have 12x12, 6x6 and 8x8 probably about 15-20 of each size. They are stored upright in one of my jetmax cubes. I love it whenever I need to use one I just pull out the size I want and flip through to choose the one I want it works out great.

Although new to the trend (& with a relatively small collection), I store small stencils in a 6x6 WRMK leather album (purchased on clearance at Michael's) & my only two 12x12 stencils in a (now discontinued) Cropper Hopper Paper Pouch. HTH.

I don't have many, but I store them in a 3 ring binder in page protectors w/a piece of cs so I can have one on each side.

I had all of my smaller ones on an album ring on a hook, it was a great way to store them. I am not sure why I changed it to be honest,Changing my room about today so I may put them back that way, made it so easy to see and use.

Thanks for the suggestions - I think I am going to try putting them in page protectors in a binder - I don't have that many so I think they would all fit in a 3-ring album easily.

I keep them on a clip on a Command hook hanging off the side of my Expedit. If there isn't a hole, I punch one with my Cropadile.

My 12x12 are in 12x12 page protectors. My smaller 6x6 are in some BH PL protectors that have 4 6x6 slots on it. Those odd sizes like the long TH ones are in 6x12 protectors. I have put white CS in the protector so that I get use of each side. I love this way of storing them. I then have them all in a binder I got at TM.

I don't have a ton of them, but I've put them into a Cropper Hopper Page Planner envelope. I use them for my paper so I have a ton around, and it holds all the different sizes of the stencils that I have and makes them easy to file along with my glass mat, Cameo mats, stuff like that.

I like to flip them too but it's difficult to keep the 12x12 w small 3x4 ones together.
I tried filing them into albums, but the albums take up too much space. Less space taken just placing them in a folder box the smaller ones are more within reach on my scrap raskog

Jennifer mcguire mentioned in a recent video that she may do a video on storing stencils...her take on how TH stencils are stored.....that would be great!

Great suggestions! I'm going to have to organize my stencils.
As of right now, they're spread all over my craft room! If I had a system, I'd be more committed to putting them away!

But the system she had looked great to my organizing OCD heart. Love this idea. I think I have an empty CH zippered sticker binder with 12 x 12 pockets that would work. Currently I have mine in an extra CH standing paper holder. It works but they are hard to go through & the smaller ones get lost in the bottom. thanks for sharing |
