But, for those who don't have an IKEA near them (like me!) and don't want to order online, you can purchase something very similar at your local WallyWorld (Walmart). I got mine for less than $4.00 per rod, and it works like a charm.
Check it out.....
You'll notice that I have my singular punches facing backwards. I have mine on the back of a door and I find that they stay in the rod a li'l bit better than facing frontwards. (esp. w/ the movement of the door back/forth). If you were to have these rods on a wall, there would be no problem w/ having them face frontwards. It was just the added movement of the door swinging that may cause them to jump out of their postion(s). lol
Hope this helps someone! :-)
what a great alternative. I bought the bygel when I went to Cali, but yet to put them up. I wish we had a Ikea in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteHiya, Linda!!! LOL!!! You come up with some of the greatest ideas!!! I need you to live near me to help get me organized heee-heee! Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteI have the IKEA ones and love them. We did put a molly blot in to give them more strength in the wall for the weight of the punches. I think I paid $2 each rod, but we have an IKEA within minutes of the house.
ReplyDeleteHey my friend...that is exactly, well not exactly, but the same concept I have on my pegboard for some of my punches. The only difference is I have one curtain rod and two long wood dowels I found around the house, hehehe, great minds think alike....my latest fav saying.........your package left yesterday..hugs and kisses!
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! Now I can do something similar back home, where we don't have an IKEA. Now why didn't I think of something like this??? Oh yeah, I don't have that many punches....yet!
