If you have a little artist in your home, then you've probably already tried to organize all of his countless writing supplies. And I was no exception: when the child showed an interest in drawing, I started looking for interesting ideas on storage. What ways to organize and store pencils and markers were noted by me and other mothers - my friends, colleagues and readers of the VNM blog, as the most convenient:
Boxes
Perhaps the most popular storage location is boxes. And no wonder! After all, any container is suitable for a pencil holder. Eg, Marina Together with my little son I made these organizers from juice boxes.
Plastic containers
Alternative to cardboard boxes - plastic containers and baskets. Julia stores pencils, markers, pens and brushes separately in three different containers. And my colleague Alena Organized storage in a drawer of the table. It’s convenient to sort by category and see what is where.
Mini chests of drawers
Do you like the idea of plastic containers? As an option, store pencils and markers in drawers mini chest of drawers like Elena. The advantages of such storage are neatness and ease of use: when pencils are not needed, this mini-chest of drawers can be put away on a shelf or in a closet.
Special organizers
Suitable for storing children's toys, craft supplies, and other small items
Bushings from toilet paper
IN Everyday life We use many items only once. But even such a trifle as used toilet paper roll can be transformed into something brilliant. In I have already shown how you can use grommets to organize wires and cords. This time I propose an idea for creating a stand for pencils and markers.
PVC pipes
And if you want the organizer made from “bushes” to be strong and durable, then take a closer look at material such as PVC pipes. This is a real find for craftsmen! Despite the fact that they are intended for installation of water supply and sewerage systems, using your imagination, it is possible to find at least several options for their use.
Kitchen tools
To store pencils, you can use anything found in any home. Stands and trays for cutlery, graters have served their time, but it’s a pity to throw them away? There is an exit! Let them store all the pencils and markers the child has.
Cups
Another idea on how to give a second life to old things. For example, Anna Adapted for storing pencils regular glass with a bright pattern (and note - next to it is an organizer for documents from cardboard box for breakfast cereals). A Elena does not store colored markers in flower pot, because “I liked its shape and texture.” Cool idea and Leysyan: she attached it to wooden wall cups using stationery nails and clips, next to it is a homemade board from leftovers kitchen apron. It turns out that we can consider things not from the point of their “recorded” application, but on a larger scale.
Buckets on rails
Railing systems, in addition to their functionality, very often play the role of an effective design device. Look how neat they look above the workplace buckets with pencils, markers and other stationery at the space organizer Tatiana . The table space is not cluttered, the buckets can be easily removed from the railing, taken anywhere to draw, and then returned back.
Hanging pockets
As usual, they are also suitable for storing pencils, felt-tip pens and a whole bunch of other creative tools. Thanks to the transparent pockets, all the contents are visible - the necessary thing can be found and taken out in a split second.
Glass and cans
Tin cans are suitable for storing pencils and markers. from coffee or canned foods. These will make functional things like this. You can paint them, decorate them with a rope, like I did this Evgenia.
See if there's at least one lying around somewhere baby food jar or bulk food jar. They can also be decorated. Most likely, they are suitable for older children who can open containers without the help of adults.
Bottles
And how many things can be made from regular plastic bottle! For example, a pencil holder or a pencil case - all that remains is to glue the zipper the right size. Such organizers are easy to make and practical to use.
Pencil cases, cases
Does your child attend art school? Surely he will need these cases for pencils and felt-tip pens. Of course, this is a project for craftswomen, but it looks very impressive.

Stands for pens and pencils can either be purchased in a store or made independently, focusing on your own taste or the preferences of the person to whom we intend to give such a small souvenir.
For example, a preschooler will be delighted by motifs and drawings from his favorite cartoons. In a child's room, chaos reigns almost constantly, so from an early age it is advisable to teach your child, with the help of beautiful writing utensils, that it is more pleasant to engage in creativity in a neat and tidy place. To the student primary school You will need a very spacious stand for pens and pencils, but you can make it with it. Materials can include cans and plastic packaging, beautiful paper, multi-colored ribbons, all kinds of pebbles, shells. There are many ideas for decoration.

For students, although written work is done primarily on a computer, pen and pencil stands will also be useful. But for a scientist, a business manager or a freelancer, such an accessory can be an excellent gift. In this case, you can choose an elegant writing instrument, say, from coil, jasper, selenite. A desk pen stand made of mirrored glass will look elegant. Such a set will decorate the office and emphasize the authority and prestige of its owner. Sometimes it also includes a stand for a calendar or diary. It is important that in style and material it matches the decoration of the office or workplace.
Multi-tiered stands for pens and pencils are quite convenient. After all, in addition to writing utensils, at home and in the office you need all sorts of little things that constantly tend to get lost: paper clips, buttons, markers, stickers, tape. Whether you choose a stand in a store or make it yourself, pay attention to the sufficient volume, spaciousness and functionality. The material from which writing utensils are made can be either expensive (fine wood, stone, metal) or very simple, the main thing is that the thing is pleasing to the eye and is safe. If you want to make such a stand yourself, make sure that the edges of, for example, tin cans or plastic bottles were not sharp, rounded. For the home, it is most convenient to use wooden or plastic cutlery for writing instruments: they are not only durable, but also safe, reliable, and look attractive even in their raw form.
