Protective Easy Storage for Jewelers Files

by Kylie Jones
I wanted a simple storage solution for protecting my small, delicate files. I wanted something that gave easy access, allowed me to see the files and protect them from rust and any damage to their points.
I made this easy protective file storage container out of an old document wallet that came with the manual for my bicycle. It was the perfect size for most of my small and delicate files.

I used my sewing machine with a long straight stitch to make a cell for each file. I used normal polyester sewing thread. I just guessed the width and kept testing as I went along.

I am really happy with how this turned out. The files are easy to see. They are easy to store and this saves me a lot of time and keeps my bench organized.

For the files that were longer I made a simple fold over sleeve out of thin, soft pvc material. This material is often used for outdoor tablecloths. The basic shape I chose is a back that is the full length of the file with a folded over front that covers the serrated part of the file leaving the handles free for easy access.

I sewed straight lines with a long stitch. It was super easy.
