What is the Desk Maid Die File?
The Desk Maid Die File is a storage solution from Totally-Tiffany. It’s essentially a chest of drawers for dies! The wooden frame holds 10 pull-out wood panels designed to hold thin metal dies -simply pull out a panel, and find the die you want for your project. Putting them away is just as easy!
Some of our favourite features of the Desk Maid Die File:

How many dies can I fit inside?
We aren’t exaggerating when we say hundreds of metal dies can be securely stored inside the Desk Maid Die File. To be honest the number of dies you can fit inside is down to the size of the dies themselves.
Each of the 10 panels included measures 11.5″ x 14.5″ and with 60 self-adhesive magnetic strips included that could be simply divided into six strips for each panel. But, it’s up to you! You can arrange the self-adhesive strips according to the size of the dies you’re planning to store – so if you have a lot of smaller dies you’ll fit more in.
You can also purchase more magnetic strips and pop them onto the back of each wooden panel to double up the storage capacity!

Is it portable?
The Desk Maid Die File is a sturdy storage centre that is best to keep in your craft space rather than take with you on your travels. But, the wooden panels are super easy to transport. The Die File Panel Sleeves are perfectly sized to house the wooden panels – so you can pull out sections of your die collection to take to workshops or just to make on the move!
