This week I am featuring a system I devised to hang my stencils with clear sheets of Dura-Lar between them so I can see ALL of them at a glance. It's fantastic. My Joggles Stencil designs are so easy to see AND keep from tangling this way. Mine go horizontal in three foot sections but you could certainly run them vertically and put them behind a door!

I cant tell you how many times I have wished I had a way to display my collection for this very same reason. I have even bought super similar stencils because I couldn't see what I already bought and didn't go through them so ended up buying either the same or similar. I ended up putting mine in a clear envelope stacked in a file so I could see them easier but its not easy to get them in and out of envelopes but when I am making paper I just drag the file over to my painting table.. I don't have the luxury of a lot of available garage space, but this is a super easy and better way to display them. Thanks for the tidbit.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

You’re welcome! You can also stock short sections of the metal dowel on top of each other vertically in a narrow space. This is just a jumping off point :-) I agree, I don’t like trying to put the stencils back into the envelopes either

@lyndaholloway5469 3 года назад

That idea is Fab. You are so right . If you can not see it you will not use it. Thanks for this idea.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

My pleasure! It’s working great for me so far

@RsJaneP 3 года назад

I just sent this to MaryBeth Shaw. I recently watched one of her videos where she was finding a creative use for a “tumbleweed” of stencils she had. ;-)

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

Awe thanks so much Debs, it seems to work well for me anyway!

@jennifers8843 7 месяцев назад

@janetdegenhardt5999 3 года назад

I love this! I might use an extra curtain rod that I have if I can just find where it is in my house.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

Great, you’ll just have to make sure that you find clips that will fit over a curtain rod, these are very small

@MicheleEngel 3 года назад

I did the same thing with curtain rods, but those rods (probably because they are not solid metal) bend with the weight too much. I'm going to set it up again using the metal dowels. Also, I didn't think of a way to keep the stencils from tangling, so I'll use the DuraLar sheets this time, and voila!

@sarinaparhawk 2 года назад

Brilliant! I've been having the same trouble with 'out of sight, out of mind' stencils and considered hanging them up with larger S hooks on a telescoping tension rod, but wasn't happy with the idea of them flopping around and getting tangled. I even have Duralar sheets in my stash, which I never even considered using this way... Thank you so very much, Elizabeth!!

@ElizabethStHilaire 2 года назад

My pleasure, it does the trick!

@bridgethaig8923 2 года назад

Great idea, and look you have that nifty pack of white paper from the dura lac sheets to paint on

@ElizabethStHilaire 2 года назад

Yes! It’s a bonus. Thanks Bridget

Awesome!!! Storage is so important. Great job delegating it to hubby. LOL

@debchambers8563 3 года назад

I am using this same sort of system, however I bought the diginet (ikea) cable curtain “rod” from Amazon to hang the stencils on instead of the dowels. You can cut the cable to be whatever length you need up to 196 inches. Just remember that if you want it to be really long you will need to buy extra support pieces for the middle. I didn’t think to use the dura lar. Thanks for the idea.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

Thank you Deb!

@Cuttlebuglover 3 года назад

Brilliant storage. Unfortunately my craft room is also my dining room or I’d be copying this idea. 😊

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

well you can always store them in another room, to keep them from tangling and so that you can see them when you want to choose a few to bring into the craft room

@debchambers8563 3 года назад

Or you can hide them behind a curtain

@tammyoneill6128 2 года назад

You are sooo good at explaining your processes. In this video and all your other videos. Thanks

@ElizabethStHilaire 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words Tammy, I have been a workshop teacher since about 2008 and I try to be clear and concise with my descriptions. I decided to make RU-vid videos so that people would know the type of teacher I am, and consider taking a workshop for me in person :-) thanks so much

@mjmjacqueline8397 Год назад

This is brilliant, thanks for sharing!

@ElizabethStHilaire Год назад

Sure! Thanks for watching!

@MicheleEngel 3 года назад

Thank you so much for helping me improve my system! I was using curtain rods (didn't hold the weight too well), and the stencils were also getting tangled. Your system addresses both of those problems successfully! By the way, a possible alternative to the DuraLar solution and much less expensive: Plymor Zipper Reclosable Plastic Bags, 2 Mil, 13" x 15" (Pack of 100) (about $25 on Amazon), and they have other sizes, as well.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

Thanks for the info, I prefer the rigidity of the duralar since I’m only using one clip in the middle, there’s no flopping on the corners with this stuff!

@aliceadler4569 3 года назад

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

@lauraberriman2471 3 года назад

As Deb Chambers mentioned, I used her system to hang long samples of antique wallpaper. The system allows about 2 1/2 inches of space from the wall, so whatever is hung tucks in nicely and slides out easily. The system usually comes with little clamps.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

thanks!

@marciagklarosk5161 3 года назад

Hi Elizabeth, I really love the design of all your stencils and of course your overall artwork. You´re very creative. They are really the most beautiful stencils I´ve ever seen. May I ask what material they are made of ? Thank you so much!

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

They are produced/manufactured by Joggles and I think they use Mylar. Thanks so much for your kind words

Hi Elizabeth. So glad I found you. I just discovered your channel and sub'd coz your work, ideas and videos are fantastic! I'm also starting to accumulate stencils and love yours. They are quite unique and more suited to my taste. I'd really like to buy some but are your stencils available in UK? And thanks for your very practical storage idea!

@ElizabethStHilaire Год назад

Hey! Thanks for being here and for your kind words. So, Joggles is the manufacturer and the only seller of my stencils. They are in the US. They are a small business and they do no it have the staff to manage the VAT tax paperwork required. I know it’s a bummer. They will ship only to countries that don’t have that.

@@ElizabethStHilaire I had to laugh when you looked slightly embarrassed when you said you own more than 50. But you designed them, you should boast! I recently bought several of your new releases. Look forward to next release. And glad you figured out such a system unfortunately I own more than 50 also but didn’t design any of them. But did notice I too only used the ones I could easily see. As I said great solution.

@ElizabethStHilaire 3 года назад

@@lynetteclauser3551 I hate for people to think that I am indulging in anything! But you know as the designer I don’t have to pay for them, they send me samples! The other day I dropped a couple of my foam stamps down behind the dryer in the garage, I contacted Joggles and she sent me a couple of new ones to replace. Thank goodness! I definitely did not wanna have to pull the dryer out to get to them. Thank you for your support in purchasing my stencils, the new collection should be available in a few weeks or so, stay tuned!

Great idea for stencil storage. When I watched your video something popped into my mInd. Elizabeth - check out the wire curtain hanging systems at IKEA! Found in the textile department. Look for Dignitet and Forsynt plus Riktig (extra clips).

@meriadehullu3981 3 года назад

I love this system! And I love your stencils!!! And your collages! I'm a fan! (from Holland) I also began as a grafic designer. I became a school teacher. But I also want to make more art. So your my example en inspiration. Thank you for that! I have a question: I see your stencils have paint on them, do you never clean them? I noticed that the golden paint is difficult to clean. But it's nice to play with on my gelliplate... I did try to order your stencils but I got lost on the website. I'm wondering if it's possible to get it send to Holland. I send you warm greetings!

@meriadehullu3981 3 года назад

I’m sorry About my remark About not cleaning Your stencils. I know You use warm water and soap. I juist wondered About the Colors om them.

@ElizabethStHilaire 2 года назад

I’m so sorry I totally missed this comment I don’t know how that happened. No, I don’t bother cleaning my stencils because soap and water does not reactivate acrylic paint. Once acrylic paint is dried nothings going to get it off. And you cannot scrub the stencils because of the fine details in them. Your best bet is to toss them in warm soapy water before the paint dries! But then that means it’s wet when you want to use it the next time. So I don’t bother washing them at all. Thanks for your comments all the way from Holland! I am not sure if you can order the stencils and Holland, are you part of the EU? Because Joggles does not ship to the EU. But it is Joggles that you order from, not me directly. :-)
