Markers and pens can be used for coloring, drawing, hand lettering, decorating, and so much more. For some crafters, “full set” syndrome comes to mind, where we must have “all of the colors”. While individual markers and pens don’t take up too much room, a giant collection of them can.

Having the proper storage and organization for your markers and pens can keep them lasting longer. They can also save you time and money. You save time by not having to search through your markers and pens to see what you have. You save money by knowing what you have so you don’t get duplicates and you’re less likely to misplace them.

You can scroll to the bottom to see how I organize and store my markers and pens.

Some marker and pen tips:

Most markers and pens benefit from being stored horizontally (on their side), instead of vertically, check the manufacturer for special instructions
If you have a large collection from one brand, it may be helpful to make swatches of your colors
Grouping by color family usually makes for the easiest way to find markers and pens (plus it’s pretty to look at)

I’ve rounded up some storage ideas to help you get your markers and pen organized.

I use this awesome clear organizer that was originally meant for makeup to hold my markers and pens. I chose clear storage because I like to see my supplies.

Bonus that it fits into my Ikea Kallax perfectly!
