I have recently seen several folk in Blogland with fab cases that they have used for their Promarkers - cases that were originally designed to take 200 CD/DVDs. I have hunted high and low for these cases. Tesco had them in their on-line shop at £7.99 but guess what...printed across the image was 'discontinued'. PC World, Staples and loads of others greeted me with..."I know just what you mean - but..."; none of them stock this item any more. I looked on-line and yes the item is available but at a price - anywhere between £30 & £40 - that is a lot of Flexmarkers that could be added to my collection. Then a friend suggested I try Maplins (the electrical folk).
Rather than walk to the other side of Stratford in my lunch break only to be disappointed - again! - I checked on-line. No 200 CD case but they did have a 300 CD case with a big price tag...then I found it...
In their current promotion they have a 500 CD case reduced from £50 to £20 and Stratford had 7 in stock. So I toddled off to have a look and came back with this...
It is surprisingly light and actually doesn't take up any more room than my existing storage for my Letraset markers; ALL OF THEM!
As you can see, I have made a start on re-housing my pens.
The Flexmarkers will fit beautifully in one section...
...and once I get some sticky dot labels, my Promarkers will be moving in too. There will even be room for my Aquamarkers. My Metallic markers have 'moved-in' but that was all the labels I had to hand.So my Letraset storage is now sorted **happy bunny** and i will actually be able to use my pens without rummaging through plastic boxes. Result!!!............................................

Loving the storage solution - glad you managed to find one!
Fab idea, it's lovely when you get some new storage isn't it? I think all crafters must be slightly OCD lol.

Wow, that's such great organization! It will save you so much time, being able to go straight to the pen you need!

Oooh now that is a good idea. Tempting... very tempting...
Fabby storage I loved it last year when I did mine, it seems to be one of my most popular posts on my blog so a lot of peeps must be liking it.
I dont use it now as I gave all my PMs to a blogging friend so I use something else now but its still a good storage solution.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
