Cut Out + Keep

Scissor Rack

Wall storage for scrapbook scissors

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/scissor-rack • Posted by Heather B.

I was tired of digging through my scissor basket when working on a project. I wanted a way to see all my scissors and the pattern mark. I didn’t want to buy some expensive storage thing at a store, plus I love the look of DIY repurposed items, so I got creative with what I had in the garage. I used an antique yard stick, some screws, wood scraps, and wood glue. I cut 2 thin lengths off of a scrap piece of plywood to add support and raise it away from the wall. I glued it to the back of the yard stick and waited for it to dry. I drilled pilot holes for the screws. Then added the screws. Ta Da! Nifty neat scissor storage and as a +PLUS it frees up space in the drawers of my craft desk.
