For ages I have been wanting to buy some magnetic sheets to store my nestabilities on, but they are quite expensive and something else always seemed to tempt me more (usually rubber stamps).
Then I found an amazing bargain at our local Klick photo shop. Magnetic photo frames that had not proved very popular and had been reduced from £1.49 to 17p.
AWESOME!!!
At first I was going to stick them on card and use them as they were, but then I saw someone saying on one of the forums I visit that she had cut A4 magnetic sheets and popped them into CD cases.
A brilliant idea that led to me cutting my frames into stripes and sticking them to the inside of a CD case. It also meant that I could use the word 'awesome' on the front of the case.
Even better is the fact that because I used a double CD case the matching sets can be stored in the same container.
No more counting the dies to make sure they are all stored safely - it's so easy to see that they are all there.
This is the back view of the case.
One frame is enough to do the two sides and leave some scraps that could be made into fridge magnets.
If you like the idea I do hope you can find a Klick photo shop that has some of the frames left.

What a fantastic idea. Well done. Even without the magnetic strips I might try CD cases. At the moment I try to keep them in the original packets but it's not very practical.

Hello from Canada. You have made some lovely cards. I like what you have done with the cd case to store the nestables. Check my blog if you like for another way to recycle cd cases.
