New and Improved Copic Storage

I know that I showed you my new Copic marker storage not too long ago.  But I outgrew it within a week or so.

I had been thinking about a metal piece I had seen at Hobby Lobby – but it had drawers that were just a little too short for my markers. And then I had a light bulb moment – TAKE OUT THE DRAWERS!

So I drove to Hobby Lobby to see if it would work.  I yanked out a drawer only to discover that each little cubicle had no floor to it.  Hmmm…..how could I overcome that?  Make a floor of course.  I used really heavy black mat board cut to fit into each little slot.  Double sided tape made sure the floors stay in place.  

Here is a close up of the mat board in place and also what the drawers looked like.  

                     

                         

I have already found some storage uses for the little drawers around my studio, so this is really a win-win situation.  And I can grow into this system for sure.  I have plenty of room to expand.

In case you are thinking of buying one of these, the price was $79.99, but I waited until they put their metal ware on sale for half price.

I hope this inspires you to either get out your markers and color or organize them so you CAN color next time you are in the mood.

I will be back tomorrow to show you a cute card made with a digital image.

See you then.
