It's an akward video that's longer than it needs to be of me making craft supply storage. What more can you ask for? (Don't even get me started about the chothespin...save me from myself!)

Supplies:
Scrap 2x4 lumber & plywood If you don't have a scrap of plywood you can purchase a seasonal "wooden" sign at dollar tree, it dosen't matter the design as you will cover it and it will be cheaper than buying a small sheet of plywood at a lumber yard.

9 wood crates like these from dollar tree: https://shrsl.com/32ns4 You can buy a minimum of 4 online and they will ship it to your local store for free if you are worried about not being able to find these at your local Dollar Tree. I discovered that each crate will hold about 100 pencils comfortably so determine how many pencils you want to store and divide that number by 100 to see how many crates you will need. You can put jam jars in the crates if you want to store fewer or if you do not wish to use dividers so that you have more options to use this for other things in the future.

Wood glue: https://amzn.to/3wC9SDn

Hot glue (optional but it holds things tight while the wood glue sets up) https://amzn.to/3ra6Kh0

***Important! You don't have to use as many grates as I did, also you can configure them in different ways to fit the storage space you have. You might prefer a 4 long, 2 deep situation to go along the edge of a desk and in that case, you don't need the plywood, just glue the lower layer to the wood in the back. Make it your own. Consider turning it on its side for other art supplies you want to store.
