Update: I gave up this system fairly quickly. It would suffice in a pinch but by watching HSN and hunting online, I was able to purchase the real thing at a price which works better and honestly by the time you add up the expenses of buying wood, heavy duty velcro and spinders (if you don’t happen to have binders on hand), it is just as economical to buy the scraprack. Plus the scraprack works much better than my homemade version.
I used 3 cottage brackets 13″ (also called 11″ x 13″ wood brackets
We had to cut a little off to make it stand flat
Then using 1″ screws we attached the brackets to a 16″ x36″ shelf
I covered the shelf with industrial strength Velcro. The first and last binders I used a 2″ d ring binder and left the back attached to serve as wings (the first one had to be placed upside down. The middle spinders actually belong to a scraprack as I got a really good deal on the expansion unit which included 8 spinsters.

Which “side” of the Velcro did you put on the shelf (the stiff or the soft)? I do not have a scraprack nor any spinders and one day hope to. I have convinced DH to make me one (which done – woohoo) but I would like to have the same set up, for the time when we can afford a “real” scraprack – I’d like my homemade spinders to work on the scraprack.

the stiff, rough side of the velcro is on the rack and the softer is on the spinders. I ended up getting a real scraprack. The angle of my homemade one I think was a little off but it did work. I found a good deal on walmart.com. I have also seen it on Amazon for a good price. HSN has a starter set as well that includes the starter scraprack, dividers and 110 pages for a good deal. Good luck with your homemade version and your organization.

I was told I could have just bought the wings for a little more but my version has 9 or 10 spinders on it, which means I would need two bases.
