My new Promarker storage + FREEBIE!!!


Hiya Everyone!

I have finally finished my promarker storage rack that I made with an IKEA DVD rack. This isn't my idea so I can't take the credit - I think it was originally devised by Camilla from Norway. Her cards are fabulous (she designs for Magnolia) so check out her blog here. The DVD rack cost £7.99 and was kindly sent to me by a fellow Docrafter called Karen before christmas as I was pregnant and wasn't able to get to IKEA myself. It takes 14 blank DVD cases (Poundland) and will house all your promarkers neatly and in order. I also bought some small round stickers from Rymans that I coloured in and stuck to the flat end of the pen. I used the official promarkers colourchart and spent hours on word making little boxes to fit along the spines of the DVDs so they listed the colour and had a small box to colour in underneath which I printed on the Rymans white coated card.




As a freebie if any of you want to make one of these for yourself I would gladly e-mail you the word document so you can just print it off to save you doing all the messing about that I did getting it to look right!

Thanks for looking!!!

    Thats brilliant! I just have to find a similar cd rack as we have no ikea ( but a massive ikea distribution centre just up the road from me) then i will be asking very nicely for the word document so i can have a smart storage for my promarkers too :D xxx

    I have already labelled the ends of my Promarkers. I couldn't find any white round labels, so I punched some out of some ordinary white labels with my crop-a-dile!

    Thanks so much for sharing.

    That's great Paula. I bought a DVD rack from Tesco's after I had seen a similar tutorial a long time ago but it hasn't got so many slots so I have all my greys in a little box but it is a pain to get the grid right. I managed it after a couple of attempts thank goodness.

    It's really nice of you to email it top people though. Crafter's who share are the best :)

    Take care xxx
