Inexpensive, yet beautiful ways of organizing your pens, markers and pencils

January 20, 2012 by respaced

Ikea jars ($4.99) and a label from a label-maker is all it takes to make your craft room “writing implements” go from tools to functional decor. I love this idea. I also love this other idea below. I’ve published it below on this blog, but I think it’s worth publishing again since we’re talking about organizing pens, markers, etc.

This set-up is actually from an art supply store, but you could do something on a smaller scale in your craft room with PVC pipe. Either method of organizing your art supplies will provide a visual punch to your room, which has the added benefit of inspiring you to keep it organized!

      Thanks for the pin! I love this look, and had a certain client and her craft room in mind when I posted it.

    I love the IKEA jars. I use them for my money but I might switch them to organize my desk. Brilliant idea! Thanks.

      I think anytime we can make organization fun and beautiful as well as useful, we are making it easier on ourselves to maintain our organization because we are inspired to maintain that beautiful look. Glad you liked the idea, and thanks for commenting!
