Die Storage Frame

Firstly, Thanks to everyone for their continued support visiting my blog and Hello to my new followers. I love getting all your comments.

 My post today is to share an idea I had for storing my dies and to make them easier to access rather than searching through folders. I think the majority of us who are lucky enough to have craft rooms find they are still never big enough and how valuable every little bit of space is. This was originally a cheap mirror from the bargain shops measuring about 4ft x 1ft. 




Step 1 : Stick Woodware self adhesive magnetic sheets to a mirror.

Step 2 : Cut 6 x 6 paper pad into triangles, and make a patchwork effect. I used a free paper pad from a magazine.


Step 3 : Apply Modpodge over Magnetic Sheets and place papers on.


Step 4 : Seal with Modpodge. Once dry, hang on wall and place your dies on.


Hints/tips : Use a thin paper on your magnetic sheets so you don’t lose the magnetic strength.


 



Hope this is useful to you all.

  2. What a great idea and you can see instantly what you have. If I had a craft room I would probably do something like this. One day maybe? Julie Ann xx
