Had to do some re-configuring in my fridge recently, so I had this extra fridge binz container. I'm already using some to start storing my clear stamp sets and dies based on some of Jennifer Mcguire's great videos. So didn't need any for that (yet). But I have been struggling with how to best store my growing collection of Copic marker refills. So decided that, at least for now, I'm going to start storing them in a fridge binz, along with a jeweler's scale for weighing the Copics when refilling, and my bottles of Various Inks colorless blender. Only thing that would make it more perfect (IMO) would be if I found something to fit in the binz that had the base of each refill in its own space so that, as I get more refills, it would be easier to place them in the right color spot. (Any suggestions?) Still, this is way better than what I had before, and I am protecting my investment in the Fridge Binz by re-purposing it.

This is a clever idea! I wondered how you got them stay standing. I have a ridiculous amount of refills after collecting for 6 years and all I could think to do is to use small boxes in a bigger box so I can sort by color code. I'm open to ideas too. I pull one and they all tip over (grin.)

Great idea to keep the scale with the refill bottles. I wonder if you could somehow adapt the egg crate ceiling tile marker storage method by enlarging the openings (using wire pliers to cut out every other divider or every two dividers to make room for the bottle bottoms).
