I have been searching for the perfect storage for my copic markers and although this idea may not work for everyone it works great for my needs. I searched the web for a way to store my pens on my desk top and found many great ideas. I thought of buying the spectrum noir system and adapting dvd storage and the plastic tote boxes but as i wanted to transport my pens every weekend to my caravan the ideas on the web were impractical for me. Even the plastic large tote boxes apparently weigh a ton when full and the other options would mean me packing them into and back out of some other form of storage each week. I still wanted to be able to see all my colours and be able to have them to hand so my husband after a shopping trip to a local supermarket came back with these for me. As you can see they are sandwich cool bags i wanted to keep the pens in some kind of order though so i decided to make a box to fit inside using some white card after a couple of prototypes a came up with this . As you can see they hold loads over 80 in here i think and its still not full but i bought two just in case i was lucky enough to fill one as you can guarantee if i had gone back in six months to get another bag they would have sold out. They cost the great price of 2.99 each in the sale what a bargain and you can customise them to suit you i have added a badge i got on my birthday card and a photo holder on the zip but you could really go crazy with jazzing them up if you wanted too. The last thing i have to do yet is add some little round stickers that i intend to write on and stick to the end of the ciao pens as unlike the sketch the colour isn't marked on the ends but i am so sad i know which are which by looking at them most of the time. Thanks for looking don't forget to follow my blog xxx
