Storage idea

Puzzle shelves are expensive and often narrow - making it hard to see what the picture on the puzzle is before selecting it. I decided to search for a metal letter stand at a garage sale - and I found one. I turned it on it's end and secured it to the back of the toy shelf with velcro - then slipped in the puzzles. Lots of space and open to view. Best of all it cost 50 cents! :)

    I have used plastic letter trays but they are less firm and secure, but they will work fine if you cannot find metal.

    That puzzle is very old - Sorry I have no idea where it came from. Most of the things I have in my room I get at garage sales ad thrift shops - I get awesome finds that way!
