Today I would like to share a little organizational tip that is sure to save you time! I started buying my Copic Markers a few months ago and now have almost 72 of them! I am so excited as I am taking the Copic Class called Created From Color with Melissa of Melissa Made and Kristie of The Odd Girl teaching. Well I was having a hard time as I bought the little cases for on $5 ($3 if you use the coupon) at Hobby Lobby and put the Copics in by the little 6 pack I bought them in. See Hobby Lobby has them in little 6 packs, you know primary colors, pastels etc. Well I thought that was great and loaded my cases... WRONG! They were just impossible to use.
Well Melissa had suggested I keep them by color groups and WOW what a difference! I took them out and sorted them by the number on the marker and then placed them back in the cases.
What a difference..... all the earth tones are together, the reds, blues, yellows etc making it so much easier to find the colors you are looking for. I love it, just check out these photos....

Well I sure hope you enjoyed today's little tips and can put a couple to use. If you have any other suggestions please add to the comments for all to learn.
Thank you for your sweet sweet words of encouragement. Your comments inspire me to continue sharing with you.
What a great tip on storing Copics! I don't take mine to crops and such anymore...I had 36 stolen! It took awhile to replace them!! I love Copics and I see you do, too!

What a lovely way to organise. I never knew HL sold these organisers. I will be on the look out. I have my copics stored in the new copics bag but these are great for the other markers and gel pens I have. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of Copics. I would love to have that many markers but I'll continue to add to my small collection. When I buy my pens, I get 3 for example in the same range (every other number) so they blend together. Have fun!

Like Angi, I would just love a class too!!! My coloring is awful! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the organizing!
I have to agree that the Copics are so addictive. My best tip is to go to http://www.copiccolor.com and register. You are then able to enter which colors you have in which body style of marker. It is mobile optimized so that you can pull it up on your phone and have your collection at your finger tips, complete with your wish list. It is very cool and convenient to have it with you all the time.
ReplyDeleteVery Interesting!TFS I am making a visit to Icopic.com
ReplyDeleteooohhh, would love to have these. I wouldn't use them, I would just marvel at them. Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea Sheila, it is a perfect way to store your markers. I don't have the Copic markers but I have a different kind of alchol marker. Did you find these holders in the art department of Hobby Lobby??? I will be going and looking for these cases, they are just perfect!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I really like your Copic organization idea. Like the other lady asked, did you find the holders in the Art Department of Hobby Lobby or elsewhere in the store? Who is the manufacturer and do you know the item # by any chance?
ReplyDeleteThey were right below the copics and with the colored pencils in the art department. Hope that helps.
