I at last have a way to store my chipboard. Well my alpha's at least!
Ive seen several people use these cheap shoe holders to store punches but I had too many and no way to attach something that heavy to my concrete walls.
Light-weight chipboard though- no problem! I even had orange chipboard letters from Lil Davis from like a gazillion years ago I had never used! They were perfect to label each pocket!
It took me a while to sort them all into their little pockets and I had to double up on the last 4 letters- but I am so happy with the way they turned out. With the pockets being clear- it is an absolute breeze finding just the right letter.

And the pockets are large enough to get my hand in there and sort of shuffle them about without having to pull them all out to browse. I am finding that I am using them so much more now that I can just glance up and be reminded- hey I have a TON of chipboard! Now I just need to figure out what to do with my shapes and numbers (I'm out of wall space so I can't just add a second shoe holder). Ahhh the dilemmas of being in a basement :( So back to the drawing board!

I've seen the shoe holders used for punches before but not chipboard. What a brilliant idea! I don't use my chipboard much now because my storage system isn't very handy, but I may just have to copy your idea. TFS!
