***NOTE - I am finding the Copics are a little tight on the bottom tier for my liking - please test before making yours, to make sure you will be happy with it!!!***
I love that idea. It's way better than the pegboard I was going to use for my small hand tools AND portable! Bliss here! Here's one for you: I use to work at a local retail location that had just about everything except the kitchen sink, furniture or appliances. One day I noticed that the shotgun ammo holders were about the same size as my lipstick tubes. I tried one and ta-da! Perfect fit, except you couldn't put the lid on it. Who cared? It's not like it was going anywhere. My friends were surprised and bought their own. Have a wonderful day!
I really like the idea of using a pegboard and "S" hooks to hold everything. Hobby Lobby sells something similar to the marker/pen holder you made, but it's round. If you want to add a handle, you'll need to figure out a solution because it comes apart easily. I haven't completely decided how I want to organize everything, so I'm not ready to permanently glue the pieces together. Thank you! 🤗😘
Ooo, I got one....you could use them in a foam core shelf/dresser to add structure while still keeping it light. It would also help to cut the foam core square. :)
...and I was excited to tell you about the pretty-much-the-same-thing-only-round pencil and brush organizer from the Dollar Tree (affectionately nicknamed "The Tree" by moi. No one I'd rather be out smarty pants'd by. 😘😄😁❤🌞🌵
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I actually picked up my third one just yesterday. It's 5" across by 5.75" tall and has 49 holes top and bottom, just like yours. I actually thought you may have seen theirs, cuz what you've created is so similar. It's by Crafter's Square, but of course!
I have no idea if you read the new comments on old posts, but I hope you do. I don’t know how I missed this one when it first came out, but I did. I went to your channel this morning to specifically find ways to store pens, gel pens, marked, etc. I have hundreds and I want to be able to see them always. I do have the carrying case for my tombow markers, but I’m order to store them flat, I unfold the case and lay it flat beneath my monitor. That way I can keep them in numerical order, store them flat, and always have them at my fingertips. I have bought numerous storage things that sit on my desk for other pens, pencils, etc. the problem with that is, I’m running out of desk space! I just purchased a new set of 120 gel pens and have nowhere to put them 🙄 Thank you so much for this brilliant and inexpensive idea!! As far as copic markers go, my daughter and I both pronounce it with a long o sound as in hope. One other thank you. I also have an obsession with stickers. I saw your post about putting them in 3-ring binders. This has been great. Most of mine will fit in the page keepers designed for sports cards. The are 9 slots on each page. I also purchased sleeves with 3x 5 and 4x6 slits for the larger ones. I put the stickers in small ziplock bags so they slide out of the sheep protectors. It took a while to do it, but it is so worthwhile. I no longer make a special trip to bu specific stickers, because I probably have ones that will do. I sorted them buy subject, like all my flowers are in one binder, my animals are actually in two binders. I said I was obsessed - I now have 12 binders of sorted stickers that I can find and use! I’m sure I have over 10,000 stickers 😬. Thank you for your wonderful content!!
I try to read and reply to ALL of my comments!!! TH-cam likes to hide them on my sometimes though. LOL I am so glad you liked this video and it was helpful! 10,000 stickers!!! That is amazing! I am so happy you've found a way to store and organize them!!!!
I say coh-picks with the long o. As for the markers if they are double sided store them flat. If they are only one sided then store them cap down or flat. You don't want the nibs to dry out. As for paint brushes, after use they should be stored brush side down while drying. This prevents the water from getting into the ferrule and over time loosening the glue that holds the brush in place. It is not so important on cheap paint brushes, but on quality paint brushes it is important. After it is dry you can store the brush flat or in a jar with the brush side up.
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I love using found or heirloom items to hold stuff, but trying to refit them so they WORK as well as being cool - it can be a challenge. For my straight knitting needles, I have a cool wooden box designed to hold 3 big bottles, but all my smaller needles get lost in the bottom, & the tall ones fall over. With this I can customize the compartments so everyone stands up straight AND I can glue a bottom on half of the lower grid, so my DPN's have the boost they need. I can use a leftover piece to pop my circular needles thru. They can hang from the cable & not get twisted or kinked in some bag. I'm quite excited about this.
I use the light panel system for my Copic markers. (Using only 1piece of panel.) I have it set up in a box with a hinged lid that I bought on sale at Michaels. When I use them, I have it set upright. When I put my markers away, I set the box on it's side. Works very well for me. I love your ideas too!!
OMG!!! TWO of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TH-camRS in a COLLAB?! SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!! YAY!!! I'm so exited Noreen! I love you both so,so, so,So ooo ooo much!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a pretty neat idea. That last bit made me wonder if you couldn't use a spade bit and custom cut some thin plywood or Masonite for this purpose, so you could store multiple sizes of markers together. Ooo...or even use acrylic!
I have been wanting something like this for a long time . my requirements were : That it was somewhat square , th That it had individual compartments and it had a handle. I also wanted to lay it flat on my shelf. And be able to label it. BRAVO AND THANKS. You have Met a lot of my requirements. Dear One, could you plz make it travel ready. maybe with a top. Luff luff luff.
Just make it to fit in a storage box that has a lid - AND a handle!!!! There are tons of storage boxes like this... just need to know the size of the box, and cut to fit. An inexpensive tool box may work too! Depends on the length of your pens/markers. Let me know if you need help finding the right container! xoxox
I found you looking for organizing and storage. Immediately I hit the subscribe button (you were at 50,000 I think). Talk about a going down a “rabbit hole!!!” Your presentation is perfect for me and always informative ❣️❣️❣️ Thank you 👍🏻
Amazing Noreen it should be your name I'm always amazed by your ingenuity creativity and problem solving you have an amazing brain I absolutely love this idea thank you so much for sharing I hope your day is filled with beautiful moments You've really made my morning
I was told by the art store that it’s fine to have your markers upright for transit but if you have a dual tip nib and you want to use both nibs then you need to store them flat so the ink is distributed across both nibs. So short term storage, either is fine, long term storage is best flat 😊 I have had my alcohol markers over 10 years laying flat and none have dried out other than the ones I used up! If you have Distress Markers they have to be stored flat... and they still dry out which sucks. They were such a disappointment.
A peg board is a great idea! Much lighter in weight than a traditional wooden peg board. Perfect for RVs, Skoolies or Tiny Homes on Wheels where weight is an important issue.
Gosh! You are so creative!. I love watching you make things for us to save a lot of money. Everything in the crafting world is expensive and some of it, ridiculous. You have the best ideas and simple solutions for our crafting supplies. I'm really grateful I found your channel. Keep up the good work.
Yes, I am a Copic Girl and a Notebook Girl. I would love to see a notebook that holds Copic markers and ANYTHING ELSE FOR NOTEBOOKS! I have a serious storage problem and notebooks take up much less room on my shelves. They are also portable. Your hardware store marker storage system is brilliant. Thank you. I EAGERLY await any and all videos from you. You are like a breath of fresh air on the TH-cam scene. Barbara from Dallas
I had a hefty chuckle when toward the end you mentioned “it’s just a game of Tetris!” I recalled trying to explain to a relative my organization system for the temporary storage unit in the driveway and furniture placement in the one room of the house I had to live in while rebuilding from a storm. “It’s just Tetris. A giant game of Tetris.”

Can't wait to see a collaboration with you and the Posh Paper Lady......two of my favorite TH-cam sites ❤ Great idea for markers, pens, pencils and paint brushes. Will definitely try it out. I look forward to all your video contributions....thank you so much for keeping us inspired. I have FINALLY (after a year of CoVid interruption) reclaimed my craft room (my son, whom I love dearly has found his own place....Yaaa) and now I am trying to organize it properly....with your help through your TH-cam videos....I can't thank you enough 🥰🇨🇦
I am loving this - both the pen holder and using the rest as a pegboard type system. Just a comment about the marker cases they come in - I believe they open at the top for when you are using them but the cases can be stored with the markers horizontal when not in use - it's not very intuitive and the manufactures should do a better job of explaining this! We would all be a lot happier if our markers where always usable when we grab them. Thank you - you just got a new subscriber.
How many thumbs up can I give?!?!?! And then you share that you are going to collaborate with The Posh Paper Lady?!?!!?😲😄😲😄😲😄 Did you hear me screaming from the east coast?!?!?!!?❤❤❤
I would definitely like to see the notebook idea. Sharpie has their oil paint pens that are quite large, so it would be nice to have a better way to store them. The notebook technique could also be used to store makeup brushes that have large handles.
I have so many pens here there and everywhere Great idea Very doable I like your favorite stripes. . . Now with flowers and scallops. . . Very springy 💐💐
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ll need to measure the space I have and count the pens I have and see if I can make a plan. Did I say THANK YOU?!!? Great use of hardware
You are such a lovely, positive person. I am actually not a crafter but I enjoy watching your videos. Besides the cheap and smart ideas that you bring, your voice and smile just instantly relaxes me. Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪
Thank you Noreen! This was wonderful. I will probably will have to stop watching you one of these days and actually get to work putting these ideas to work 😄😲😄😲 I have a real good excuse for not doing it yet as I have a toe broken in two places. It is part of the Osteomyolitis in my foot that I'm dealing with. can't wait to see more.!!! Pauline
Oh, I just love your name!!!!! It's not common at all! Welcome to my group, Noreen! I am so happy to have you here. ( And not just because we share the same name 😉)
Oh my, my hubby told me NO MORE PROJECTS. Well, what he doesn't know won't hurt me. LOL. I want to get one of these grids, for a totally different idea. If it works like I hope, I will send you a pic. THANKS so much for sharing this.
Same concept but slightly different product: egg crate aquarium dividers. They come in smaller sizes if you don't want a lot of material left over, and you can get them on Amazon, so if you can't find them at a hardware store/don't have one near you, that's another option. Just make sure the grid is the right size and you're good to go :)
I’m waving my arms in the air!!! Lordy-Lordy. I’m so happy to hear that two of my absolute favorite ladies on TH-cam are going to do a collaboration. OMG...this much talent together, I can hardly wait!!! 😄👀😍
Oh wow!! I love this!! You are Queen of the best DIY’s!! I’ve got the same problem/pens that need to be stored on their side but in a regular pen box, I’m usually digging for much longer than I have to actually crafting!! 😅 anyways tysm for your great work!!
Norrine - You are pronouncing Copic correctly with a long o as in the word cope. Before I discovered your channel I went to the expense of purchasing a wooden framework to fit into my Copic carryall. It is sturdy and works beautifully but was expensive and the shipping was almost as much as the product. It's a great way to store the markers as well as to carry them to my Copic classes but I am learning to check out more budget-friendly ways to manage my craft supplies.
@@2222dw That's so cool. I'm 70 but I can't remember the 8 track box. Of course, I do remember 8 tracks. We thought they were so cool and such advanced "technology" if we even used this word back them.
I like Posh Paper Lady. That will be a great collab. I got the egg carton at a yard sale and wasn't sure what to do with it and didn't know how to cut it so great ideas. Thanks for all you do!
That is such a great idea. I bought a marker holder on VarageSale ca for $5. I later found out they were 25$. I am out of space now and did not want to buy another especially at full price. This is a great idea. I can even use the same measurements as the one I have so they match. Thank you so much Noreen!
Thank you for your consistently helpful content. Your positive attitude is a delight. I'm glad you've connected with the The Posh Paper Lady. It's a natural connection as you are both crafty, budget friendly, and classy!

Yes to the notebook idea. I may try this for all of my markers.
What an excellent idea! I’ve been buying individual cheap holders and now will get these and be done! Fantastic!

Fingers crossed it will work. I can't wait to see what it is!!!!!!
Same concept but slightly different product: egg crate aquarium dividers. They come in smaller sizes if you don't want a lot of material left over, and you can get them on Amazon, so if you can't find them at a hardware store/don't have one near you, that's another option. Just make sure the grid is the right size and you're good to go :)
Good to know!!
I’m waving my arms in the air!!! Lordy-Lordy. I’m so happy to hear that two of my absolute favorite ladies on TH-cam are going to do a collaboration. OMG...this much talent together, I can hardly wait!!! 😄👀😍
😊 It's how I've been feeling too!!!! So excited to work with her... it was REALLY hard for me to NOT announce it right away! LOL
Nice video
BRILLIANT!!! I would make my own ‘box’ out of foam core, then add the egg crates!!! Oh and I say CO-PIC not cop-ic.
Yay I’m saying it right!!! Hope you DO make one!
Oh wow!! I love this!! You are Queen of the best DIY’s!! I’ve got the same problem/pens that need to be stored on their side but in a regular pen box, I’m usually digging for much longer than I have to actually crafting!! 😅 anyways tysm for your great work!!
Now I'm ready to reorganize my markers, you are always so creative when it comes to organizing.
Yay! Thank you!
Yeahhhh you found The Posh Paper Lady!!! I love her creations!!!
Great idea with the grid panel.
She's awesome! I'm so excited for you to see what we've done!
THIS!!! I've been looking for this! Thank you!!
Yay!!!! So glad I could help!!!!
I'm with word crafter, this idea is amazing. Must buy and use, thank you Norrine.
You’re welcome 😊
Great ideas!!! And a collab with the PPL!?! Yay!!!!
Right?? I am SO excited!
Love! You are so clever. So, if we prefer to have them flat, we have that option. Cool!
Yes! Store how it works best for you!!! Thank you, Bonnie!!!!
How clever! I love this idea! And now you're collaborating with the Posh Paper Lady?? I can't wait! Hugs! xxx
Neither can I! So excited to work with her!
This is awesome! Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Genius!!! I love it, I love to color in the adult coloring books and have tons of pens and markers. This is perfect. Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome!!!
Great ideas. Keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
Not only crafting supplies, kitchen ideas too!!!
And am interested in the notebook idea.
Yay! Working on it right now!!! Stay-tuned!
Norrine - You are pronouncing Copic correctly with a long o as in the word cope. Before I discovered your channel I went to the expense of purchasing a wooden framework to fit into my Copic carryall. It is sturdy and works beautifully but was expensive and the shipping was almost as much as the product. It's a great way to store the markers as well as to carry them to my Copic classes but I am learning to check out more budget-friendly ways to manage my craft supplies.
The important thing is you have a product you enjoy and a way to organize them...... Bt if you get more, I have an affordable solution to use ;)
Excellent, I ended up using an 8 track box that I got at the goodwill. I love having all the pens and markers readily available
Great find! And perfect use for it! Well done! :)
What is an 8 track box? I'm 70 but I can't recall this item.
@@craftsNstuffBamma 8track tapes were the predecessor to the cassette - I found a box used to store them.
@@2222dw That's so cool. I'm 70 but I can't remember the 8 track box. Of course, I do remember 8 tracks. We thought they were so cool and such advanced "technology" if we even used this word back them.
Oh my gosh this is an answer to my search! Thanks!
Love the market storage idea. But what really blew me away, was the leveling app for the phone! OMG, duh!
OMGosh! LOL It's amazing - and surprising how often I use it!!!!
Very excited to make some of these...thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
What about using foam board making a box from the foam board fittings the egg carton style light cover and decorating the box the way you like
I like Posh Paper Lady. That will be a great collab. I got the egg carton at a yard sale and wasn't sure what to do with it and didn't know how to cut it so great ideas. Thanks for all you do!
OH! I'll bet you got it at a great price!!!! I am so looking forward to yard sales again.... 💜
That is such a great idea. I bought a marker holder on VarageSale ca for $5. I later found out they were 25$. I am out of space now and did not want to buy another especially at full price. This is a great idea. I can even use the same measurements as the one I have so they match. Thank you so much Noreen!
Oh wow! That is so awesome!!!!
Thank you for your consistently helpful content. Your positive attitude is a delight. I'm glad you've connected with the The Posh Paper Lady. It's a natural connection as you are both crafty, budget friendly, and classy!
I so appreciate that! I am honored to work with her.
