My marker storage

I've seen so many ways to store markers, but I was trying to come up with something that wouldn't cost me anything and would make them easy to grab. Plus I wanted all my markers in one place. This set-up will suit me for awhile. I have them all right in front of me when I'm stamping, so I don't have any trouble reaching for them as I go.

I wedged and stacked Mason jars and a card stock holder in between 2 drawer units. I have my SU markers in two of the bottom jars, my CTMH markers in 2 (bottom left next to the SU markers and middle right), and my Copics in 4 (middle left and all top row). The Copics fit perfectly in my widemouth pint jars and the longer markers work in the quart jars. I separated my SU markers into 2 color groups per jar. I might change that later, but for now it works for me. I have Earth Elements and Soft Subtles in one and Rich Regals and Bold Brights in the other.



The trick to keeping this grouping in place is for both supporting sides to be heavy enough not to budge. I keep my box of baby wipes on top. My Finding Nemo-themed Huggies box is a colorful addition to my little arrangement!

This set-up works for me until I can afford a better arrangement.

  1. Hi Kim! Your Copics remind me of candies in a candy store! I'm glad this works for you and it looks great, too!
