Storage Solutions - Markers
How do I store my markers in the craft room?
Many of you have asked about Storage Solutions that I use in my craft room, particularly my marker storage. Sneak peeks of my markers were caught in the background of “in the works” projects and everyone wanted to know “what are your markers in”?
Now I don’t say this often… but… ignore the cards in the photo below. :)
My marker storage is “clear plastic stackable wine racks”!! (Purchase link below)
Using stackable wine racks for marker storage offers a space-saving and visually appealing solution, particularly for larger marker collections. The racks can be stacked to create vertical storage, and the compartments can be used to organize markers by color or type. This method is efficient for accessing and displaying markers, and it can help keep them from drying out by storing them horizontally, which is recommended for alcohol markers.
Space Efficiency:
Stackable wine racks, especially modular designs, allow for vertical storage, maximizing space in small or cluttered areas.
Organization:
The individual compartments can be used to segregate markers by color family, type (brush, fine tip, etc.), or any other preferred organization method.
Horizontal Storage:
Storing markers horizontally is crucial for preventing the ink from pooling and potentially drying out, which is particularly important for alcohol-based markers.
Accessibility:
Markers are easily accessible, as the wine rack design allows for quick viewing and selection.
Visual Appeal:
Wine racks can also enhance the look of a craft space, providing a clean and organized display.
Durability and Stability:
Choose a sturdy rack with a solid base and consider wall-mounting it for added stability, especially if storing larger collections.
Considerations:
Ensure that the rack is compatible with the dimensions of your markers, and consider using a lining or barrier to prevent the markers from sliding around.
