Sharpies storage solution




this is what I did to store all of my markers and gel pens and still keep them where I can see them and within easy reach
I use a tube from plastic bags recycled from where I work but you could use Pringles potato chip cans or shipping tubes,
I measured my markers and cut the tubes about a quarter of an inch shorter than the markers. then I glued them together using clothpins to hold them in place till they were dry , Painted with black paint added a back of matbord placed on my desktop and filled.
works great .

I didn't realize I should be storing these horizontally...I'm going to have to come up with something like this! Good idea!
