    I store all my pens, brushes, markers, colored pencils, pencils, etc in reused jars or tin cans. Free! The color ones are broken into color families; pencils into softness (B,2B, etc) watercolors brushes, oil paint brushes each in own jars. I can choose the size I need, as well, including tiny tins for when the pencils get shorter. I struggled with a way to make sketchbooks accessible, without having to break down the pile every time I wanted a particular pad. Then it hit me - to store them like books. The main storage item in my studio is a 5' x 6.5' x 18" industrial piece with 5 shelves, where the spacing between the shelves is adjustable. So then I relegate categories to each shelf - paper, mark makers, inks, paints, etc.

    Lipstick holders are great for markers and paint pens. You can get them that hold 40 to 50 markers/lipsticks for under $10. There is all sorts of fun shapes and sizes, even rotating ones. Love those that rotate.
    If you turn them on their side you can stack them up to look like yours did here or hang them on a wall in front of your work area. You just have to flip storage containers around and see the different ways they can be used, not everything has to used in the way it was intended. Sometimes we get hung up on that and miss great storage opportunities. 🤗

    Great ideas. I store my ink pads in a wooden cassette holder too. It’s huge and I only paid $5.00 for it at goodwill. Thrift stores are good places to find these along with other things to use for storage. I also store my alcohol markers in the same way as you do. Tiered stands for kitchen spices work great for stickles, Nuvo drops, pops of color, etc. I love how you store your stencils.

    I gave away 99% of my alcohol markers and 100% of my alcohol inks - the fumes were too strong for me. Fumes made me nauseous. Now they live happily at my LSS!. Most of my other pens, pencils, and markers are stored in mugs or vases - sitting on various sized Lazy Susans. Lazy Susans are a crafter's life saver! tfs!

    Great looking space! Love the organization! I don’t have alcohol markers yet but I very recently emailed Newell, the company that makes Sharpies to ask as I saw so many conflicting info online on how to store. Received fantastic customer service! Rep said for permanent markers, tip down or flat, or flat for dual tips; paint markers tip up, pens tip down; highlighters depends on if tip up or down in packaging - store same way. Thanks Mary for sharing!

    OK Mary Keep ‘em coming….I am in the mood to de-clutter. Went thru the “I want everything where I can see it”. Stage and am now entering “ I would like to see all of that beautiful empty counter top” again. I now realize the first stage was a good idea, just not the put it on in organizers on my counters! Going to take a few drawers and shelves at a time. Hope to use many of your clever and economical idea’s. Everything in it’s place….here I come!

    I saw fitted cases that must be for nail polish at a thrift store. Another place to look is by the cash register when shopping, pick up some small boxes meant for
    candy displays. They get thrown out. Also try plastic tackle boxes. We live in a 2BR condo, all my supplies fit under my bed, or on one shelf. I sort by beads, paper
    crafting, ribbons, and yarn. Everything closes up when I'm done for the day. Tina, Al's wife

    Hi Mary.
    I store my markers 2 ways. I bought the marker towers from Stamp n Store for my alcohol markers.
    For a less expensive way - and how I store all of my tombo brush tips & SU dual brush tips. I use 2" PVC tube cut to 4" in length. I painted them teal to match my studio then pyramid stacked them (and glued together with E6000) and store the markers in rainbow order.
    For Alcohol Sharpies, I use the same tubes but have them vertical and store the markers tip side down by color. I'll be doing a studio tour later this Spring (early summer) to show. Creative Blessings!

    Before my husband 3d printed my current marker rack, I bought plastic drawer dividers with slits for putting them together, made a grid with them, and put it in a box. When on its side it's not as good as a marker rack, but it's the next best thing for those who like individual marker spots.

    LOVE your video's Mary! Really liked the cheap paper towel rack, from Dollar Tree, for the big rolls of tapes. 👌 When you did the over-all shot of your work-space. I got a huge smile when seeing the little lights all around your desk 😽. As a glass artist I have a BIG light pad. Hence, I am into "lights" of any kind. Your little room is wonderful. I am sure that you feel happiness & peace when you create in there. My card spot is VERY small. So, I have to be organized. Where-as my art studio is very large. But, in either spot, I feel calm and peace for creative purposes. Good job on your "creative" space.

      Now all of my Sharpies are stored that way...but...unless you have a clear container, you can't see the color! A few (very few) have color on both ends.

    I have my Stickles in a plastic case that holds each bottle upside down-great for the infrequent crafter. Got it on sale for half price or less a LONG time ago. Two trays hold a total of 64 bottles with enough room between for larger bottles lying flat or a long row of the normal size. I put cotton swabs, toothpicks, pins, and small brushes in the nooks and crannies.
    I watch most of your videos, because I find you informative AND entertaining. On most TH-cam channels, I don’t bother with most longer videos.

    What a lovely room you have created! I think I want one of those letter boards- very stylish! I really like what you've managed to do and I like the finishing touches too. What I have learnt doing my making room is that its hard to make storage for the things that never got stored properly in the first place so I'm trying to develop that! My priority is the big clear boxes for things to go in the attic/shed like our archery equipment and bushcraft as we are not using these currently.

      May I suggest you put an entry into your phone’s ADDRESS BOOK (as t h a t is searchable!) as to where - and what - is stored “elsewhere”. In my house, those kinds of “stored because - for N O W - we’re not using it” becomes a way station on the way to the dump, a resale center, or a home for non-rent-paying critters. Just a thought …

    I started using an ergonomical eraser with my stamping platform years ago, sure wish I had sold the idea to craft companies back then.

As far as white cardstock goes I used to use accent smooth white cardstock from Amazon however it seems like good cardstock is just very hard to find for a good price at the moment.

    I found that the popular way to store markers, gel pens, and pens in general of on their side is actually wrong. I know shocking, but it is a trick to dry them out sooner and you'll go buy more. I tried it and my markers started to go dry. By storing them on their side the ink stays and dries in the middle. But if you store them traditionally on their tip all the ink will collect on the tip giving you longer play time with your pens. When it's on its side the ink spreads out thin the length of the marker making it potentially dry out sooner because of the space then created in the barrel of air. An easy fix for dry markers take out the tip with needle nose pliers or gently with scissors and drop a few drops of water put the tip back wait for the water to rehydrate the felt inside and your favorite marker will work just fine in about 15 minutes if it doesn't it needs more water. I learned that trick from videos on here. I think alcohol markers you would rehydrate with more alcohol but I've never tried that since I don't own any because of the smell.

    I’m reorganizing my craft room. I didn’t care for the paper towel holder for my tapes so I’ve put up a peg board and now keep them on there. I have tape 6”, 2.5”, 2”, 1”, 1/2”, 1/4, and 1/8” wide. I keep each on separate hooks. Seems so much easier to access each size. I have hooks to keep decorative scissors on. I now put extra glues in baskets on the pegboard. Too much stuff was clutter in my work space. I don’t have many normal ink pads except bout 24 Oxide inks. I store in TH tins. The Distress inks I gave away and just kept the mini one and also store those in TH mini tins. I have lots of dies. I know store my most frequently used dies in a frame that has magnetic sheets bi keep this frame behind my door to the room and my Vagabond is right next to it stored on a repurposed microwave cart. I store extra plates and equipment in the drawers of the cart. It’s fun to ssee what others find to store their items.

My pops of color are in their holders but they are on the wall. I will show you a picture of them. My stencils and my embossing folders are in binders. My paper is in a sorter too but I bought the Tiffany sorter because she had movable dividers for sections. My Sizzix equipment was living nicely on a 3 tier craft cart, TILL, I got the switch and now trying to rearrange for it. I am a distress Oxide girl & Catherine Pooler and stored in the same rack as you (as I got the idea from you!!!) and I painted mine white also. I will need a second soon and not sure where I am going to mount it as my wall space is AHHHH! all taken up.
