Steps to Create the Small Ruler Storage System.

Steps:

A. Start with an expandable file folder, as seen in the picture above. This expandable folder is convenient because it's lightweight, has cut-out handles for carrying, and includes colorful dividers. The file folder fits in an IKEA Kallax unit, although I keep mine on the counter by the cutting mat.

B. Next, count out thirteen Job Ticket Holders, 9" x 12", to label and place in each slot. (I have used these holders for years - storing cardstock, organizing Paper Pumpkin kits, organizing stickers, etc.)

Tips on Labeling:

A. Using my label maker, I have a code to print and attach labels to the top of the Job Ticket Holders. (My label maker is no longer available, so I have linked to an updated version.)

B. The first two letters are an abbreviation of the company or manufacturer of the ruler.

C. Next, I write the generic name of the ruler.

D. In the picture, the first label is "BL: Flying Geese," which stands for Bloc_Loc, Flying Geese. Numbering or using color-coordinating stickers on the labels will assist in returning the holders to the correct slots.
