Update: Blogged Dimensions for your own tote here!
 |
| Kristy’s sketch |
I wanted to share a fun project I worked on last week. If you know me at all, you know I love a challenge. I get bored with the same thing over & over. Kristy at Some Odd Girl gave me the opportunity to put my skills to work to create something for her. (She is seriously talented - you gotta go check out all of the stuff she creates!) She sent me some dimensions and this link. A few emails, tweets and her sketch helped us get to the end result!
- Fusible Fleece interfacing on top of heavy duty cream canvas lining.
- Outside Fabric - Outside Oslo home decor weight cotton fabric. (Available for purchase in my shop.)
- Climbing Webbing used as handles and wraps around the bottom of the tote.
- Tabs to hold D-rings.
- Velcro to keep the long pocket up. (I like the velcro that doesn’t snag.)
- Pre-washed and shrunk the fabric to keep it from shrinking.
- Side pockets can hold paper, etc, and help keep the shape also.
What do you think!?
Do you like challenges?

I'm Virginia & so glad you're here! You'll find me writing about my not-so-perfect journey with my faith, family, life and home. Stick around, comment and join the conversations.
I love meeting new friends!
I’ve got it now and all my markers are happy in my tote!
It still has plenty of room for more and the pocket is just perfect! I’m going to do a vid on this and share. Its been all over with me this weekend! THANK YOU VIRGINIA!
that looks great! how interesting!! virginia you are so talented girl!! oh, i have a blog award waiting for you on my blog today! i’ve missed you, we need to catch up!!
Where did u get the plastic insert please?
I used the same ceiling grid to make my Copic storage last spring after seeing the same blog you did. http://bhelenj.blogspot.com/2011/04/copic-marker-storage.html
But I saw an improvement to my design that someone posted in July http://devinedesigns-byterri.blogspot.com/2011/07/copic-marker-box.html
and I adapted it a little by using 4 1/2″ carriage bolts instead of the 5 1/2″ lag bolts. I just wish the ceiling grid would be a little larger so that it would hold the original Copics as well.
I like your idea where you have the fabric pockets around the sides. Unfortunately I needed a cover since I travel with mine. Using my previous case with no cover, I fell and my markers spilled all over the sidewalk (at night). What size did you cut your grid?
Very cool, I too made the art bin one before I saw this one. Way cool!
