I always get asked about how I store my Copic markers and if you've visited my Copic FAQ page or have seen my studio tour, you'll see the same photo as above. I LOVE those cubbies! Each cubbie compartment bottom is slanted toward the back of the cubbie (so your markers don't slip forward or fall out!) and can hold 12 Various Ink Refills or about 30 Sketch markers. Each cubbie tower has five compartments.
The site shut down for a while, but good news for me and anyone still looking for the perfect marker storage solution -- They are BACK and are still made in the USA! You can order again. And I am super happy to tell you that one lucky reader of mine will be able to WIN TWO of these cubbies (4 are featured above). How cool is that?!! If you know you NEED some of these, you can order them at Studio 3 Solutions.
To enter to win, all you have to do is comment on this post and tell me how you store your markers (or pencils). These cubbies are solid and expensive to ship, so that’s why this blog candy is only open for readers living in the US or those who have a US shipping address. I will choose a winner this Friday, November 30 with the help of Random.org.
Good luck winning these Cubbies! If you don’t win, you can always order HERE!
~ Sharon
This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been announced. Many thanks again to Studio 3 Solutions for their generosity in giving away their fabulous Color Cubbies!
I don't have too many, so they're not stored well at all. I stick them in the slots with ink pads.

At the present I store my Copics in soup cans hot glued together and laying on their sides. I did decorate the cans so they were cute. These storage bins look wonderful! I'd love to win. Thanks for the chance. Have a wonderful week!

I have some cute little open drawer type things I bought at Big Lots. I turn them on their side and put empty Crystal Light containers in them. Love these cubbies. I am running out of room with my current storage. Thanks for the chance to win.

oh, wow! those cubbies are soooo cool! i have over 300 markers and i store them in a deep art bin container with a handle. i like the idea of having them sitting out for easy use.

I don't have a tin but maybe 50, so I store them in a plastic box. I would love something like this!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Posted by: Claudia Mitchell | November 26, 2012 at 07:44 AM
I store mine in various boxes in my craft room. Would love to have them easily accessible. Thanks for the chance to win.

I loved these cubbies the moment I saw them, but the site had already closed by the time I stumbled upon them. So, I made similar cubbies out of foam core. I love them, but I really would rather have the wooden version. I'm wondering if the manufacturer could find a lighter material to make them out of. I'm sure there's something almost as sturdy that would ship cheaper. Afterall, my foam core versions have held up over the last couple of years.

I LOVE these cubbies! I bought them from a friend awhile back and they are perfect and are great for SO many other items as well. I can't say enough great things about these!
Posted by: Mary F | November 26, 2012 at 07:48 AM
At first I stored mine in a Snapware container, but now I'm using a Pampered Chef utensil lazy susan. I'd LOVE to win some of these!
Posted by: Jen Naus | November 26, 2012 at 07:49 AM
I love those cubbies. I am so glad they are back!
Posted by: Debbie B | November 26, 2012 at 07:49 AM
I have them in a big tote with the grids. It's cumbursome and hard to get the sketch markers out.
Posted by: Kathy Adams | November 26, 2012 at 07:52 AM
I have two these now and really wanted more but yhey had shut down, so this is really good news
Posted by: Kathy A | November 26, 2012 at 08:00 AM
I love these cubbies -- I store my copics in the cubies and was sad when I couldn't get them anymore. Thank you Sharon for sharing the info to get them again and for a chance to win one!!!
Posted by: Angie DiMeglio | November 26, 2012 at 08:00 AM
!!!!!Cubies are back!!!!!!!! Hooray, I purchased 6 just before the site went down..I gave 2 of the 6 to friends for birthdays, then we couldn't get any more. I was bummed out for days because they were the perfect thing for my copics....Just love them.
Posted by: jan avery | November 26, 2012 at 08:02 AM
I have mine in four of Rubbermaids X style cubes. It works for the most part, but I don't like that they don't slant toward the back and as such the markers are always sliding out. Thank you for the chance to win a couple of these cubbies!!!!
Posted by: Brenda | November 26, 2012 at 08:02 AM
I have my copics in cans in their side for now. It would be awesome to have a good storage solution! Thanks for the chance to get these awesome cubbies!!
Posted by: Pamela Pung | November 26, 2012 at 08:15 AM
I store mine in little plastic drawers - but it often a pain to find the ones I want. This system looks great. And now that my son moved into his own place, I hope to turn his room into a craft room. Thanks for the information and the chance to win!!
Posted by: Carol | November 26, 2012 at 08:22 AM
mine are all stored in a huge bag which is fine for travel but not so good for most of the time at home. What a wonderful Christmas present these would make for me! Thanks for letting me dream.
Posted by: Sheri | November 26, 2012 at 08:28 AM
I store mine in the Copic wallets. I like the idea of the wallet for traveling purposes to keep them secure and I LOVE that I can keep them in numeric order (the crafter's OCD in me :-) but I would love to switch to the cubbie storage system.
Posted by: Michele Croteau | November 26, 2012 at 08:30 AM
I don't have as many markers as you but the storage would be great for what I have and I could see them. Love this solution.
Posted by: Elvira | November 26, 2012 at 08:41 AM
I store my Copics upright in a divided canvas box. Markers are easy to reach, but frequently get mixed up. I'd love to reorganize them while saving precious space on my desk! Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Karen | November 26, 2012 at 08:46 AM
Would love to win a cubbie. My copics are stored in a drawer :( Thanks for a chance to win.
Posted by: Michelle | November 26, 2012 at 08:47 AM

My copics are stored inside various shoe boxes and 72 of them are now in a copic case after my intermediate class...thanks to Copics and their amazing instructors!
Posted by: Debbie English | November 26, 2012 at 08:57 AM
I love these cubbies, never got a chance to order so I am so glad they are available again. My copics are stored in storage boxes that came from Quickutz, they are a litte too shallow but work well enough for now.
Posted by: Tanya C. | November 26, 2012 at 09:03 AM
I store my pens,pencils, markers, etc in a wine rack. I put a piece of stiff plastic on the back so they would not fall through. Not the best, as it is difficult to take out an individual marker. I would love to win these-I even have the perfect spot to put them1
Posted by: Anne V | November 26, 2012 at 09:11 AM
Very nice! I am currently using the giant Copic carrying case for now. Although sometimes I just grab a few and stick them in a pencil case. :P
Posted by: Beth McBeth | November 26, 2012 at 09:13 AM
Wow, I've been wanting these cubbies ever since I first saw them on your studio tour!! I immediately searched for them, only to find that they weren't availabe. How exciting that they're back!!! I currently store my Copics in a travel bag, but I'd really love to have them out on my desk so that they're easy to get to. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be a lucky winner!! Thanks so much for the chance!
Posted by: Betsy B. | November 26, 2012 at 09:15 AM
I just store my Copics in a box that I have laid on it's side. Thank you SO much for the chance to win some cubbies!! I have been DYING to get some of these!!
Posted by: Kimberly S. | November 26, 2012 at 09:26 AM
Oh my goodness!!! I would love to get my hands on some of those cubbies. I've looked for them for a long time finally found them and they said they were no longer making them. Thanks to you I've found them again. And you come bearing gifts i.e. a chance to win some. Thanks for this opportunity. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving.

I store mine in a drain pipe that has been cut into 5 inch segments

I store my markers in an "X-cube" - http://www.amazon.com/Sparco-82979-X-Cube-Storage-Organizer/dp/B0033US0B0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353943605&sr=8-1&keywords=x+cube+storage
Posted by: Chris Baker Cox | November 26, 2012 at 09:31 AM
I recently ordered 2 Cubbies and love them! Nice and compact on my counter. I had previously stored them in old Crystal Light plastic containers not as efficient. I would love to have 2 more to store my gel pens, colored pencils and other markers. Really love my Cubbies!!
Posted by: Cgoggin | November 26, 2012 at 09:36 AM
Mine are stored in the Copic wallets, but I keep misplacing my refills, I would love to win these so I can easily locate my refills. Thanks for the chance :)
Posted by: Susan | November 26, 2012 at 09:38 AM
I haven't found a good storage system, but this looks perfect. Mine are stored with a rubber band around them (don't have a lot of Copics) in a basket. Would love to win these. Thanks for the opportunity.
Posted by: Terre | November 26, 2012 at 09:44 AM
I currently store my copics in 5 of these Color Cubbies. I just ordered 4 more! Wow! This news made my day! I am so pleased that Studio Solutions is back & offering Color Cubies again!
Posted by: Marsha Lasher | November 26, 2012 at 09:45 AM
Oh, I'd love to have these! I'm currently storing my 200+ Copics in two tin carriers with divided sections. I have another thing to try but have yet to remove it from its box - not real sure it's going to work. Will have to wait until after the holidays if I'm going to order Color Cubbies for myself. Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Debbie | November 26, 2012 at 09:52 AM
I store mine in the largest copic travel bag. So I have to dig out the bag everytime I want to use them. Yesterday was my 61st birthday and I would love a belated surprise!
Posted by: [email protected] | November 26, 2012 at 10:05 AM
My pencils and pins are stored in a caddy and various metal pals. My Copics are stored in the plastic containers they were shipped in.

Love these cubbies and would love to have some. Right now I store mine by color in Better Crocker plastic frosting containers. Works ok, but like the cubbies. Edna Burgess

I store my copics in plastic containers. So would love to have some Cubbies.
Posted by: Patricia Sugden | November 26, 2012 at 10:24 AM
I currently have mine in a "suitcase" that I purchased at a craft show. It works, but a little difficult to see the colors. This storage system is fantastic! I would be so pleased to be the owner of a couple of these. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Posted by: Barbara Zak | November 26, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I store my Copics in soup cans. I only use the cans that are white inside so they look better than the average can and they are all the same size. The big problem with my system is that sometimes the Copics fall out! I would love to have the Cubbies!
Posted by: Joanne O'Brien | November 26, 2012 at 10:43 AM
I store my copies in snapware. I would love to win these cubbies! Sharon your the best for letting us know this place is back in business. I will tell Santa that is what I want for Christmas.
Posted by: Sharon Roselli | November 26, 2012 at 10:50 AM
I am jsut starting my collection so this would be a great thing to win for organizing them!! Thanks for the great giveaway!!

I store my copics in a flat container from Target. These look great!
Posted by: LuAnn in AZ | November 26, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I store mine currently in the Copic black cloth type bags - this would be so much easier to access. Thanks for a chance to win these.
