Felt Storage and Display Ideas
Toggle Holder
This one is SO simple to make! All you need is a paper towel holder that stands upright like in the picture to the left. You then take elastic or string and run eight or nine strings of it from the top to the bottom. Secure both ends of the elastics (The ones on top to the top and the ones on the bottom to the bottom.)
Then you are able to slip the toggles in to the different elastics. You want the elastic string holding the "binding" of the toggle to the pole of the paper towel holder. Depending on how big your towel holder is, you may be able to fit more or less on it!
This is a great space saver for displays both indoors and outside! I sometimes take some of the pieces of the different books and place a little bit of cheap spray adhesive on the backs. (If you use the good stuff by 3MM they stick FOREVER!) This way the pieces stick really good and then people can see them and they won't fall all over the place.
Over the Door Felt Holder
This is so easy to make. You need a shoe holder from your local store. I prefer the clear ones so you can see through them. (I think that I got mine for around $6.00) I printed the names of the different sets I wanted in the different pockets and taped them to the back of the holder. I then can hang it on the back of the door in my kids room. They love it because they have an easily accessible place for the felt to go, I love it because when the door is open, it is not the first thing that you can see! ( I also like to put the different sets in zip-lock baggies. That way I can put 2 different sets in the same pocket) When I have a party or event, I take it off the door and it rolls up. I can then show them a great way to store and transport the felt easily!
