Organizing Colored Pencils and Markers on a Budget – Menards Hardware Store Finds!


Hi friends! Today I wanted to share a really simple and affordable art supply organization find that I picked up at Menards hardware store. I found these modular plastic drawer units on sale for around $5 each, and they’ve been such a nice way to organize my colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and other supplies while keeping everything horizontal and easy to grab. In this video I’ll show you how the drawers stack together, how much they hold, the measurements, and how I’m using them. If you enjoy practical art room organization, budget-friendly storage ideas, and satisfying supply setups, I hope you enjoy this video!
