Hanging Pegboard

Out of floor space? Shelves overflowing? Think vertical. Empty wall space can become a useful storage area, and it’s a great way to keep scissors and other scrapbook tools out of little hands. There are tons of choices for wall storage systems, but one of our favorites is basic pegboard. We picked up a sheet at the hardware store for about $5 and found a large frame with nice molding at a crafts store. After cutting the pegboard to size, we gave it a coat of paint and secured it inside the frame. Customize your system with tool-hanging gadgets—hooks, baskets, and shelves. A pegboard keeps everything visible, eliminating time-wasting hunts for the right tool.
