My Shop Space


Today I thought I'd share what I think is a pretty great idea for my little shop space at home. On the wall behind our front door I hung up a vinyl window cling as my shop 'sign' and then I used some IKEA towel racks, the same ones many of us use for our punches. With the help of some hooks and the coordinating baskets, I can hang all my cards and display my journals and card sets. All of it is so reasonably priced as well, the towel racks are $1.99, the hooks are .99 for a pack of 10 and then the baskets I think are $3 or 4. Right now I have about 50 cards hanging plus the 3 baskets, and everything is easily accessible.

Now I have a sweet little wall that serves as my 'shop'! I have a couple neighbors, friends and family that do come here to look at my inventory and buy right off my rack! Stay tuned...later this month I will share with you my crafting space. ;)

  3. Great way to keep our finished samples from getting messed up - right now I hang them with mini clothes pins on a string strung across my craft wall. I like yours better! Cathi

  4. I love this idea! Where do you buy your bags from? I have looked around but haven't ordered because I want to make sure their good quality.

    Thanks!

  6. Found your picture on Splitcoast and loved the idea! I have customers who come to my house as well and they basically browse through my boxes of hundreds of cards which are labelled for them according to occasion, but I am always looking for a way to "display" certain cards or projects to have recent samples in open view on a regular basis, but not on a bunch of bulky shelves and this is perfect! And so economical too. Thanks for sharing your awesome idea!!
