    Default looking for storage solutions

    Decades ago I bought a Q Snap quilt frame. It's been a handy size over the years and I love that it doesn't need it's own room. Alas after I boxed it up last month I didn't pop it back in it's storage space. and my Dogs decided since it was made of paper it must be a place to anoint.

    So now I'm trying to figure out how to store this motley crew of round tubes and corner pieces safely without danger of damage. Has anyones solved this problem already or have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Why don't you make a draw string bag for it. That way you can hang it. (I am a command hook junkie.)

    I've made these for my grand children for their toys. They are actually pretty easy to make. The instructions are fantastic. It's really not hard to resize it also. I actually re-sized mine down to use fabric I already had on hand.

    Welcome from Ontario, Canada. They make plastic containers that are for storing Christmas wrapping paper rolls upright, maybe they would fit?

    We store the one at the church in a plastic container about 8 inches deep.

    Hi and welcome from North Carolina! I'd find a cardboard box deep enough to hold it. It may not be fancy, but it's cheap!

    How long are the pieces? Check a shipping store for a container tube. Make a bag from a jean pant leg cut to size. Add a hanging loop to it.

    I have mine stored in a bat bag. You can get them in different sizes, I believe. I thought about making a drawstring bag but this bag keeps it a little more compact than cotton would. Mine is sort of like this. Just measure the longest pole and go from there. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p...mvpdgbtbgxxbbg
