No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!
Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter
My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers
and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it
This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in
You can find it HERE but there are many others out there

Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size!
Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze
As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD!
I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles
this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then
peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens
I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of each sleeve
(which slides out making this very easy)
In the back of each sleeve I have a little card with the name of the promarker
and a square coloured if I have that one
The sheets in the top of the lid come from the Letraset site
The one on the left is a download of the complete range coloured the one on the right is blank with just the names so you can colour in the pens you own and see at a glance which ones you have or haven't got
This fits neatly in the draw of my craft desk is easy to carry around and at last all my promarkers are in one place and easy to see and grab
I can take just one out or if doing shading I can take the sleeves out - the sleeve are already numbered so easy to put back in place!
Not shown in the pictures but on each coloured dot I have now numbered the pens so they are easy to take out and put back in the right position, I have also numbered the Letraset Blank key card so they match!
Like lots of people I craft in the corner of our living room I might put some photos on to give you all ideas on how to craft in small place that have to look tidy when we finished! lol
Hope you like the idea
Lots of people have asked if they can be stored this way its is fine for Promarkers but not Aquamarkers
The only promarker that letreset recommend are stored horizontal are the silver and gold metallic ones
