Default Photo print tubes (for rod storing)

Hi Rachel. Although your post is a way back now, the idea is still there. I use cardboard photo print storage tubes.

Get the thick-walled, 2-3mm x 50mm diameter ones, of various lengths. (with the plastic end caps, one of which you remove) Tape a number of them together to form a triangle shape. Depending on how many tubes on the first row, you can leave the top flat. If you secure the tubes well, with extra tape across and around the remaining end-cap, they make a fairly solid group. You can either stand them up (secured of course) or lay them flat in a rack - a very good rod and tube holder.
