PROMARKER STORAGE TOWER.

This is the project I've been working on for 3 days. I didn't want to tell you what it was in case it didn't work out, but it works a treat.

wow!!!!!!!!!! i want one. it's a shame i don't have room for one.

this may be a dumb question: how did you get the ink colour on the tip of the cover?

Fab!!

Shame I don't own any promarkers!

Ooh well done - that's looks good. What have you used for the body
of the tower ? It's very impressive.

looks a great solution. How did you make it? come on spill those beanz

That's brilliant. I was only looking at the bags last night and letraset had them for something like £5 but they're sold out, funny that as they're £9+ on ebay. Was wondering about making one out of an old pair of jeans an elastic, what a mess that would look next to this work of wonders!

wowzer !! thats fab ,can i order one now ?
would love to know what its made of .

According to several sources, PMs should be stored on their
sides/flat rather than upright. I've heard it mentioned several times on
C&C though I haven't checked the Letraset site for any info.

Soz, girls. I'll be putting the tute on here soon but for now it's over at Make Something Nice. Click on link in my sig and it'll take you there. It's cheap as chips and all made out of cardstock.

All double ended pens should be stored on their sides or one end dries up.

It's terrific, what a brilliant idea, so now you just have to fill it LOL

it does seem a bit time consuming but i am gonna have a go ,now i just have to make spce for it . funnily enough im just trying to tidy my room up ( well im supposed to be ) so can start making room now

It took me 3 days, Kim. Don't know how many hours in those days, but yes, it is time consuming. I had fun making it though and although it looks big, the footprint is only 9 x 6 so should fit on any desk or table somewhere. I've found space for mine.

It got filled a bit more today, Karelyn, lol. I get the odd pen now and then, but I want to fill it all now.

thats the word i was looking for "footprint" i had to change my whole post cos i could not think of that word.

aww lovely, thanks for putting it up, I havent got promarkers but might be able to find something else to stack it with.

I should think any pens would go in, Maria.
At least they'd be organised (and we all know how you like that ) and to hand.

I must admit, I sat down to colour an image earlier and it was super to have all my pens in front of me.

One thing I did find that I think is brill, if you want to match cardstock to a pen, you can just hold your card up to the colour strips and see what's what.

In fact, I have so say, I'm quite pleased with myself. No trumpet smiley, lol.

and so you should be pleased.

yes i do like having things organised. I have only got about 20 pens though. I do have lots of ink pads that are a bit higgledy piggledy, am wondering about it for them, or just a general orgnaiser with the holes labelled up for each different thing.

Pads are a problem for me - trouble is I have them in lots of different
sizes so makes it difficult to keep them in order. They are now in two
of those A4 plastic boxes, and the TH ones have a box of their own.

thats fab, absolutely wonderful. I didn't know they should be stored sides on I have them all upended in an ice cream tub with toilet tubes to keep the colours sep. Will have to re-think.

Smashing idea Lou.
Unfortunately I don't have room for something like it, my promarkers are in a plastic bag in a drawer, so nothing as smart as yours!

Mine are all in a drawer - I simply haven't got room for the stand -
unfortunately because is is great.
