Storing Cutting Mats

[Roger_Leitch]

I have several cutting mats and similar size sheets of vinyl.

Can anyone suggest a way to store these?

All the boxes I have looked at are not big enough.

Thanks

I use paper storage shelves to store my 30 by 30 mats. I hang my larger mats up on a magnet. I also lay some sheets of vinyl in the paper storage shelves. The vinyl rolls I have a draw in my craft room for, I use the box it came in or slap bands to secure the roll so it doesn’t unfold.

This is the paper shelf I use but you can get similar ones on Amazon. Just make sure it says for scrapbook paper 30 x30cm or A3 size.

I used to hang my cutting mats in my wall before with double sided tape coz I didn’t want to drill holes. In regard to vinyls, you can try to search at Amazon or local craft stores nearby your location. You can buy similar to what @BellethehowtoGuru recommends or the 12” x 12” storage plastic bin. Also, when you have excess or leftover vinyls you can use binder organizer/expandable folders to store it.

I agree, this is a great option. I store my mats, vinyl sheets and clear plastic acetate on a cabinet like this and it works great. I even use the bottom 2 spaces for the rolls of HTV and vinyl.

Is this what you use? I’m curious how it works to store things?

I hang mine on a peg board

It works if you’re poor enough (and I am).

[BellethehowtoGuru]

Oh can your mats fit in there? Cardstock would look pretty in there too

mmm prestige and elegance…

Thanks all for the suggestions.

We don’t have a dedicated craft room.

Ordered these today.

For me, hanged inside the wardrobe door is the answer. In fact I don’t have them there right now coz I have to remember to buy a sticking hook for them.

I use command hooks.

I use command hooks and a skirt hanger behind the door, and on my 12x24" long mat I clip some bulldog clips (as weights) on the bottom to keep it straight while its hanging downs

This seems a good idea!

[Roger_Leitch]

Saw these hooks advertised on Temu.

For the mats, I use a command hook on the closet door in my craft room. For storing the vinyl, rolls I store in an old dresser, and the 12x12 sheets I use the 12x12 cardstock boxes from any craft store.

Have a nice welcome @Mark !! And thank you cause you reminded me of I finally remembered to buy the hooks and hang my mats, exactly like you and other mates, in the wardrobe door xddd

They look beautiful there!
