Wow Marie I'm not just looking at your storage I'm looking at all your pens! WOW! When I finally get some of the markers I will have to get a hold of you to get the right storage system! Awesome! ~Kelly
Hi, I have had the same pens as you have since roughly 2014 and I have seen your video before and thought what a good idea but have always had them alphabetical order. I don't really use them like I should. I have started to stamp more and colour so I am going to change them over to your technique. I also have the sparkle pens and four more trays so i will put them on the bottom or top of the layout you have shown. Thanks for sharing :) Ann
I finally got the last of my pens (the darks) and your system made so much sense to me, and I saw the reds blend into pinks and oranges and yellows, thank you for your time and effort in putting this together. You are awesome! I'm just staring at my pens with a silly grin because they look so lovely, that it's time to play! Thank you once more.
Ah...my OCD has been calmed thanks to this fab way of storing my S/N pens ! I have just about finished collecting the pens, and have just bought the storage system and spent hours (literally) trying to figure out how to store them. I paused the video and wrote all the colours down on a grid, before putting them into place. Thanks so much for sharing this xx Kathleen, U.K X
I am so glad I happened onto your video!! I don't have a "logical" mindset, so finding your video was so lucky for me! Have been trying to figure out a way to organize my SN's. And now that I've broken them down into families, I can get started putting them on the racks. Thank you SO much for sharing your video & explaining your reasoning behind your choice of placement.

Thank you so much, I don't have all of the spectrum noirs yet but building on them, I like how you have them organized, right now I have them organize by the way the box sells them (I have 9 sets so far) but I can see once I get the rest how this is going to be so helpful. thanks.
Very nice and organized. Hope you can do some classes on YT for these - I only have a couple of sets and it would be great to take 'classes' for these since at my craft store they don't offer it and on YT I see mostly coloring with the other brand markers. TFS Hugs, Lourdes
I have been wondering how I will organize my SN markers when my trays get here. (They are out for delivery right now! YAY) I like how you organized your pens and I'm going to be a copycat! HAHA! It makes sense to me and looks great. Thanks so much for sharing your carefully thought out organization technique!! :D
Thank you for the tutorial! I have just completed getting the collection and now am in need of a storage system. I like the way you arranged yours. How do I buy the storage system, that you have? Thank you very much! Bridgette
Is there anyway I could get a picture of this? Screenshot that I could use? I think it's a superway to organize! I did go to the blog but couldn't find it. Thank you!
Is there a list comparing the colors of Copics to Spectrum Noir? I see so many videos using Copics that have the color numbers listed, I just wondered if there was a list that I haven't seen.
I just ordered this on black friday crafers companion gave buy one get another for half off. But I'm worried that it might be a bit of a hassle to always have to pull out the markers one by one & then put them back one to each slot. Where as they slanted cubie type, you just throw them back into their color group
I love the storage system. I have two sets of pens, and I keep one this way on my desk and another is portable. It is easy to take the pens out and put them in if you don't square up the trays but rather set them up in a cascade. But like anything else, organizing the pens is really a personal preference. Thanks for watching and I really hope you enjoy whatever system you choose! ~M-C
Thanks for replying. My order should be here in a few days. I just got a Blick Order/Haul & I got the Art Bin Marker Satchel & I love it. It's great for transporting or just keeping markers, paper, ECT until time to use. That was my original plan until I saw that marker tray system. I made a bunch of huge orders on Black Friday to finally organize a work area because I had so much stuff I had barely any room to work.
Hummingbird Haven ministries No, the markets are all different. They have recently come out with another 2 new 24 sets. I am no longer selling them though. Hope this was helpful! Scrappy hugs, M-C
I do not but if you go yo the spectrumnoir1 channel here on TH-cam you will find some good ones. You can also do a search for coloring with Spectrum Noir markers. :)
You probably think these are super cheap..wrong. They're cheap compared to copics, but a huge set of touch fives are about 180$ but the full set of these are $400+ ; but they work great and the brighter olors are even better than the brights in copic, especially the pinks, the pinks in these are better than any other artist marker ive seen
I just listened to the video again and it sounds fine! I have a feeling something happened at your end! You might want to try it again later! Scrappy hugs, M-C
This is an oldie but definitely a goodie. Lots of help here. Thank you. It’s quite a few years later. I hope you are doing well.
Just found your video, and now that I have all 168 I really appreciate the time you took to "think this through" for us! THANK YOU.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know that you like this system! It means a lot to me. I still enjoy using these!
Looking for a spectrum noir chart please Can you help with this thank you annmarie187@aol.com
Just finished organizing my Spectrum Noir markers according to your instructions. Thanks so much for providing a system that makes sense!
So appreciate the time you took to explain your system, now I'll get busy organizing my pens!
I sure hope it works for you! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

Glad you all liked how I've stored my 168 Spectrum Noir markers in the trays! It still works really well for me! Thanks for all the comments!

I am late to the party here but I want to know if you still have the pen holder? Santa needs to get this for me!! Thank you!!
Denice French I am sorry! I no longer have the SN storage trays but I'm sure if you google, you will find! Have a great weekend, ~M-C~
I just got the 72 count of 6 packs, I heard the 24 packs are duplicates and some of theses markers look the same ,is that true
Hummingbird Haven ministries No, the markets are all different. They have recently come out with another 2 new 24 sets. I am no longer selling them though. Hope this was helpful! Scrappy hugs, M-C
M-C Graves yes ,thank u ,I was hoping i will like them ,if so I will buy more ,do u still have videos to learn how to color
I do not but if you go yo the spectrumnoir1 channel here on TH-cam you will find some good ones. You can also do a search for coloring with Spectrum Noir markers. :)

the sound is so bad and sounds like you are talking into a drinking glass.
