I had a very cluttered and messy note board by my stash closet. Originally it had photos and note cards tucked into it. Lately it was just layered with stuff! I thought I would straighten it up.....yuck! It was also a big dust catcher along the top edge. and the fabric cover was faded. Time for it to go.....which left a bare spot.
I debated on a couple of ideas.....like a hanging magazine bin. or a magnetic board. I figured they would get stuffed and cluttered up also. Instead, I looked for something that could be re-purposed that I had on hand.
An unused plate rack just fit the space. Sir Old Man used the 3M hooks to hang it for me. He suggested I hang the tape measures on it, as I was always hunting for them. Now they have a home to return to after use!
I glued ribbon to the end of a clothespin for holding favorite note cards. A couple of "S" hooks can hold small project samples.
Maybe I can keep this little set up neater now. It sure looks a lot better.

I love everything about this idea!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and your can change it as the mood hits, I doubt you'll junk that up. A home for the tape measure is well worth it, mine is always "snaking" it's way behind my machine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever "repurposing" effort!
ReplyDeleteI have a peg in my sewing room for my measuring tapes, too. Has made a big difference in their locate-ability (that's a word, right?). : )
Cute projects on your new little display!
ReplyDeleteNo one would know it's a repurposed project. Looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea! I need a place to hang sample blocks. I'm very visual, and I need the reminders smack-dab in front of me so projects don't go unfinished! I'm going to be on the lookout for something suitable now.
