I have been using my Pamper Chef Tool Turnabout for my Copic Markers. I have them sorted into color families and it makes it so easy to find what I need!!
Just had to share my lightbulb moment.

LA GASP I could never store my markers standing up. I love that you have all the colors seperated but double tipped markers need to be stored on their sides so ink doesnt pool at one end which causes the other tip to dry out.

Yep, as long as the marker is capped tight, it doesn't matter with Copics if they are stored on their side or end. I figured they would know... most of their stands are vertical... not horizontal.

Q. Which way should I store my Copic markers? Horizontal or Vertical?
A. However they look best on your desk Japan sells them stored either way, so it doesn't really matter.
Now my SU markers lay on their side only.

This is how I have mine stored too.. great tool. I actually have three of these things. One on my desk with tools in it.. sits right beside me.. and two on the table one full of Copic markers and one full of Bic Mark It and Sharpies.. I wish that I could keep my SU ones like that.. it would make it a lot easier for use.
These tools can be picked up at yard sales and thrift stores fr $1.00 or so.. that is how I got all of mine and then some.. gave them to my mom.

GREAT idea I have the black wallets they call them for my sketch and you can keep them standing up and the cases are good for travel. Just a quick little story kinda related to this but we shouldn't always beleive everything we read I also took the class and you can store them anyway caps tight, but back to my story I bought my Marvy markers from Dee Gruning in 1995 and they told me they would probally dry up in a year and I have moved 7 times had them in hot storage and guess what I still use them today! Good Luck!
