    How do you organize felt sheets so that you can find the one you want and then be able to return it to where you had it in the first place?

    ​I don't have to store felt but if I did, I might use pant hangers and hang the sheets up.

    I like Tartan's idea, they make stacking hangers. I like things in sight so I can easily find them. Other idea that popped into my head is hanging folders so you could label what color is in each folder??

    I use Banker Boxes with felt arranged in the color spectrum "ROY G. BIV" . When the felt sheets are piled up they are east to lift as a unit. Put a piece of notebook paper in the spot where the felt piece should be returned.

    Great way to remember color wheel order. What does I stand for?
