Had no idea pen trays like this existed! Great storage idea. Thanks for sharing!!

[@pleinpages]

So glad this was helpful, hope you can try this out too!

[@carolyncoppola974]

Love this idea! Thank you for sharing!

[@sharkpopsicles]

This is incredibly clever! I love this idea and I've been searching for awhile for a storage system that would work for me, I think this might be it!

[@melindabooth9806]

This is a great idea! 😮

WoW...Lovely, I liked it 👌👌😍
I placed my limited FPs in Transparent rectangular box. Inks in strong carton box.

[@ulyssesmama]

Thanks for sharing this! I just ordered!

This is great but make sure they’re not in direct sunlight as this can discolour the plastic/acrylic bodies. Happened to my lavender kaweco ☹️

[@pleinpages]

Thanks for the tip! I did move my pen storage so that it's not in direct sunlight. So sorry to hear discoloration happened to your Kaweco 😔

Oh that’s really nice!! I want something like that too! I bought some mesh organiser from Amazon last year that I like, but that was before I got into fountain pens & I think I want to arrange the fountain pens in some way now too. I have some clear organisers too that Im currently having other pens in, but maybe it’ll be good to have my fountain pens in one of those drawers instead. Will see if something similar as those pen trays you’re having is available in Sweden where Im from.

Very cool

[@AverageZoeBlogs]

Looks great! I’ve done something similar with old Muji trays I’ve had at least a decade and a half, they’ve found their purpose now. I use the other one for paper. Unfortunately I haven’t found the inserts in the UK so I’ve made my own. Thank you for sharing!

[@georgeous885]

How did you make your inserts

[@rajeevnarayanan8758]

Hi thanks so much. This is so very helpful. Appreciate you making this video and posting it. Where did you get the transparent acrylic case and unit ? Please do let me know. Thanks.

[@pleinpages]

Thanks for your comment! Please check the video description box as I've linked all the products there.

Love the Candle stand and big candle! Where can I find that set? It's exactly what I'm looking for but have not found. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@pleinpages]

They're actually two separate items! The candle stand is standalone so you can use it with any individual candle you like, which is great. ☺️ I found them at Target, it looks like they're both sold out online but would recommend checking your local stores.
