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!!!

Looks fantastic Paula. A job well done. Carol
ReplyDeleteThats 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
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant Paula, looks great and so much easier to find your pens eh?
ReplyDeleteI would have loved the freebie but I use copics
Its sweet of you to offer it though. Hope your new baby is doing well. Take care.

ReplyDeleteMaureen............x
Paulaaaaaaaaa! This is just what i was looking for! I just have mine chucked in a tub, which is so frustrating when trying to find the right colour. I'm definitely going to make this, so I'll be asking you to kindly send me that word doc ;) You are the ace-ist person EVER for showing this! MWAH... MWAH... MWAH!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Meesh. XX
This is fab, and thanks so much for offering the chart you took so long to devise :) I will pm you now from DC :)
ReplyDeleteCarol x
hi paula,it looks fab,happy colouring,x
ReplyDeleteOooh, that's fabulous!!! I'm going to email you for the Word doc now. Guess where I'm going to shop this week, lol!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
This is gorgeous Paula x thanks for the freebie so kind of you to share x Leigh x
ReplyDeleteFantastic, i kept looking at mine - thinking there must be a better way of storing them.
ReplyDeleteI do have a coloured sticker on the end of each one tho!!
Could i have a copy of word document pretty please - when time and baby allows. xxx
Hi Rosalie, If you're a Docrafter please let me know your DC name or your e-mail address so I can send it to you!

Hiya Paula!
ReplyDeleteReally love your storage for the Promarkers hun!, just fabulous and so is your blog :o)
can I be really cheeky and ask for a copy of your word document please! No rush just when you have time. Thanks for being a follower on my blog sweetie, I'm now following yours.
Big hugs Vicky xx
Brilliant job Paula, the finished result is definitely worth the effort. Thanks for offering to send out the word document, it will certainly take the hassle out of setting one up for everyone else! Hugs, Denise x
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice of you to email it top people though. Crafter's who share are the best :)
Take care xxx
Hi Paula, I got 2 racks from Ikea the other day for the promarker storage and would love it if you could email me the word document as it would save me a lot of trouble :0) Thanks very much. Hugs Michele xx
