Lori,my only complaint with the “ book “ storage is they are heavy. I prefer to pull the pencils I want to use for a given page from the tins in which the come and then place those pencils in a small flat container. Takes no space on the desk and are returned to the tin immediately. I am a neat freak and can’t stand to have extra stuff on the desk.
Oh I do that too, all the time. Have you ever caught sight of my desk? Normally I have pencils all over, but when I clean them up it's easier for me to keep them neat in a book where I know if one is missing. It's just my system.
There is no way I could handle that packaging. My pencils would be flying everywhere! It looks kind of neat, but not practical, like you said. I don't like when brands deceive you with fancy packaging.
I haven't returned them yet, but I am probably going to do it. It's just nothing that great and I can't use that holder. The pencils were all over the place.
I loved this video because I’m in the process of organizing my Art Studio right now. I liked those drawer organizers very nice. Great video, as always Lori!!!
Thanks for the pencil storage suggestions.
Thank you for the tips Lori.
Thank you for your thoughts on the uni penicals! I love the storage ideas😀
I was planning on making my own storage from cardboard boxes and covering them with paper. I loved seeing this vid as it made me realize I need to take into consideration how much real estate it will take up. Great vid Lori.
Thanks again for the information.
Thank You for showing how you number your pencil cases! This will save me so much time.
Thanks for sharing…. Love my BTSKY cases….
Great tips. Thank you
Thanks for the Uni review. I have eyed these pencils for a long while. Now I’ll save my money!
Thank you very much, Lori! You just saved my markers.
I bought these about a year ago and and your review is pretty much exactly what Ive always thought. Way over priced for the pencils, you're paying for the fancy box, which I only used for about a week because it took up way too much desk space when trying to use the pencils. I feel like these are about the same pencil as the MarkArt pencils. Not only do they looks exactly like them, but perform the same in my opinion. Just a much better price with the MarkArts. My advice to anyone would be skip these and buy a set of Star Joy Golds 🙂
I am glad to hear you thought the same. I get anxious not giving a fantastic review of something, but I literally couldn't work and have these pencils on my desk like that. I agree 100% that they were like Markart. I love Markart so it's not a dis. It's just not a 150 dollar set.
MarkArt pencils are awesome. I use them with the Deli's for a better color selection.
@@samsmom1491Great idea. I really love my set of Deli pencils. I just wish they came in a larger set and had color names.
Great video. Organization is key . You got some cool storage ideas. Thanks lori. Always learning from you. Thanks ✍
Thank you as always for the advice…
Laughed so hard at the comments from the peanut gallery! The balloons were priceless!
Great tips!
Thanks for another great you tube .
Thanks for the storage tips! Was looking ideas for my gel pens…I absolutely Love the BTSKY pencil cases! 💜
You can put gel pens in BTSKY holders and just store them so the tips are down. Easy Pizzy
They’re really good storage ideas!
awesome information Lori
Great ideas!!!
Thank you for sharing. Not crazy about the way pencils were packaged for using .
Yes! Great review! Lol! Yep I write the pencil #'s in my cases BUT I put masking tape down first then write the numbers in it. Because of brands like Black Widow I have had to switch to a larger case or rearranged the color order etc. Love BTSKY cases! Plus I recycle Oreo cookie trays ☺ to put my pencils in use in, and can stack them up together. I Have NO IDEA WHO EATS ALL THOSE OREOS!😱😳🤐🤔😋😍💖😁
My weakness is OREOS. They were my Mother's favorite cookie too. When you visit the grave of a Jewish person you leave a stone. It tells the family that someone came to visit. We leave Oreos for my Mother.
@@ColorMyWorld Oh I LOVE IT! When 1st married my husband would find a random oreo that I left on a shelf or table while dusting etc. 😉😋😁
That 1st set of pencils, I couldn't use in the way they come. Nice idea tho. I do like some of the other storage you showed. Thanks for storage info!
I always use those cases. They are compact and safe
Lori you talk just like my mom, shes from Hoboken. She says looseleaf too :)
Hey, that's New Jersey LOL.. I am a Long Island Girl.
@@ColorMyWorld ha! Very close! I'm from Hoboken too but move to the suburbs very young so my accent will come and go 😅
Lol…I honestly don’t think “loose leaf” has anything to do with where you live. “Loose leaf” just simply refers to the paper that goes into a 3-ring binder and technically it is still called that. At least on the few occasions that I have had to go look for paper to put into a binder, the plastic sleeve surrounding the paper calls it that. ☺️
Got it. Nice.
I have been curious about the Mitsubishi pencils. Thank you for the review.
Very interesting thank you ☺
I have the 24 pencil sized Bond Art Studio pencil holder and love it! It's attractive and easy to move about the house with me. The 24 size is perfect for me - I try to limit how many colors I use on a project so 24 is plenty! I keep a black & white pencil, a prisma blender pencil, a Kum sharpener, an eraser & a couple pigma micron pens in the tray. It doesn't take up much realestate, is not top heavy and I can see all my pencils in use!
I agree 100% I saw that and it was so cute. I was going to get the 72 but my father looked over my shoulder and reminded me he had a wood workshop in the garage.
Thank you, I have been wondering how to store markers, gel pens., etc. 🌟🍒
Impressive organization of your supplies.
This is a VERY GOOD topic. While I doubt most people just toss their pencils around, it's very important to learn proper storage to preserve your supplies for as long as possible, especially to save cash! So thank you for the video!
I've been mistakenly storing my gel pens in a flat position. After seeing Lori's video, I immediately went to the craft room and stood them up. Could be why some of them aren't working despite being full. I use a lighter to heat the ball up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
@@samsmom1491 I haven't found a brand of gel pens that don't die, but tip down helps.
@@ColorMyWorld My Castle Arts gel pens are not working properly and I won't get them again, but I have a set from Aen Art that are very juicy and (knock on wood) haven't failed me yet.
Glad you did a video on the Btsky pencil holder. Looks like one I’d like to try although I love keeping the Star Joy in the tin…
The tin is great too.
That was helpful.
I was wondering about these pencils. Thanks for the review. For the price, I think I'll pass.
For that price, I got my polychromos. I would never consider to buy them. Thank you for the storage tips. I keep my gelpens flat. I will have to rearrange them!
OMG, how did I not think to use the Sharpee numbering system in the leather case? Soooo smart!
Sometimes (Rare) I'll change out the pencils, such as when I used one of my Prismacolor books to put my Eagle brand pencils. I had a lot of doubles so I just added a little bit of white out and wrote over it. Worked great.
I was gifted this set 2 Christmas's ago. I find them kinda hard The led, they where for my daughter..she and my son likes them. I Appreciate Your Review.. I would like to see them being used.. thanks hugs 🙏🤟
I like the storage case that your Uni pencils came in, but I agree with you! I can't deal with that price. I wish I had something made like that case, but I would definitely want a more sturdy one. I have several of the BTSKY pencil storage cases, and I love them. The only issue I've had is the handle can't support a completely filled case. I guess even colored pencils are too heavy. The handle should be mounted differently so it can hold the weight. I just remove them when I receive the case. That way I won't be tempted to use it.
I can tell you it’s not that good, it’s not easy to put the pencils back in the holes and the whole thing tips over too easy I put my pencils in a pencil case pretty much straight away. The case is an overpriced waste of space.
I store unsharpened pencils down when I use upright containers. The frugal crafter advises to store tip up also. It makes it so easy to see the true color by displaying the tip. I repurposed my large CD/DVD wallets (who uses those anymore right) and I buy the three ring sleeves that Amazon sells. This provides me with a great uniform storage solution.
100% Most people who know anything about supplies store them the same. Lindsay is very good with all sorts of supplies. Love her videos.
I like my bamboo holder to but mine is on a lazy susan type base. Love it. has slots on both sides that are off set.
I wondered about those pencils as a lot of the colorists were buying them. Tfs
Our coloring group follow your videos! We talk about the weekly videos and trust your advice. Thank you, KATHY
What group are you?
@@ColorMyWorld I live in Florida, The Villages. We have coloring groups, where we meet every other week. When you started with the Star Joy Gold, some of us got the Originals, and the new ones. We are going to start after New Years. We are getting our pencils ready. I got everything you are using. Then at class, we get to show and tell! Ppl are getting very interested , several have bought the sets, some have got the class. So, thank you, we love learning new things.
@@dcreas If anyone in your group has any questions just give them my email Howtoadultcolor@gmail.com
OMg! I’m so glad you did this video! I came this close to buying them last month and the only reason I hesitated was because of the some of the reviews although I had heard that these were artists grade pencils preferred in the east. Now, I’m so glad I didn’t. Budget quality pencils at an artist quality price! With a price like that I would expect them to be up there with the Pablos and luminance pencils. That’s insane! Are you able you return them? Wow, I’m so sorry! What a disappointment for you.👍🏻😘🥰💗💖💝💘🤩💜🇨🇦
Lori, do you like the pencil books that holds 3 at a time instead of 1?
do you have a colour chart for the Star Joy Gold??
i always store mine laying down in a case
That's actually the best way.
Very informative video! Like all the comments. Thanks 😊
😯 I store lots of pencils tip down, and no problem. I do get it might mess with their cores though if you're not careful putting them like that. Question about the pencils; are these similar to the Posca Pencils? I am eying these because I hope they are similar, as they come from the same company.
I have a black BTSKY case just like yours but it didn’t come in a box. It has a wrist loop for carrying but when the case was fully loaded it started to stress the metal piece that connected the wrist loop to the back of the case. So I removed the wrist loop so as not to tear the material. There are a number of brands that are basically identical. My next case was a Shulaner with an embossed croc pattern. It’s shiny and looks cool. It also has a handle on the side that is very sturdy. The handle is attached in a different way than the BTSKY so that it puts no stress on the material. The inside is virtually identical to the BTSKY snd several others brands. Been using it for about 6 months. I have all my wax pencils in the Rose Shulaner croc case (holds 254) and both “oily” pencil sets in the Black BTSKY (StarJoy Gold & Deli sets).
It does have a wrist loop. I had taken it off and compleatly forgot to put it back on for the review
Wow, sad about the Mitsubishi Uni. I love the set I bought years ago. The case has been resilient and suits me as I have a huge desk. I like the pencils, they are nice and straightforward to use. Not the highest art quality, but I love the palette for colouring books. What blew me away was the price you had to pay! Mine were the equivalent of $93 USD, which was much more appealing. I love using soft pastel drawers for my pencils, a 3 tray drawer fits 120 luminance size barrels and 2 blenders perfectly.
I have those flat draw wooden pencil draws. I love them. I keep my fine liners in them. I have showed them in the past. What I like about them is I can decorate the wood to make it unique. I just haven't done it yet. I liked the pencils but I expected a lot more for 150.00. Love Luminance.
@@ColorMyWorld I plan to decoupage my drawers, just not enough time in the day.
thank you again!!! is it ok to store my pencils sideways???
Could u tell me where u got your trays for your alcohol markers for storage. Thanks

Hi Lori! 👋 I've been wanting to get one of the wooden slanty three across and three down (?) organiser - the wooden thing at umm I'll go back and find the exact place where it pops up, (oh here it is 11:30) but I can't find any that look so thick and that are actually made of wood/bamboo. All the ones I've seen have people complaining in the reviews about how they're flimsy wood laminate etc etc. Do you know of a particular brand that is like the one you have? Oh and I see that you have a pop up bubble that says they're back and they're on special! I looked through the description and I couldn't see a reference to them. Do you have a link to them? Hope you're well 👍
Yes I know. There are two types. This is the larger version of the one I got. I wish I had this one. amzn.to/3G9ukSB
@@ColorMyWorld Oh thank you, Lori! You always know all the coolest/best products! 👍
I store stuff I totes under my bed because I have limited space. I have plastic tote drawers but all my sewing stuff occupies that space. Looking to actually fix my space issues. Hopefully budget friendly.
Ohh Lori I sure hope your going to return those and get your money back. I love your videos
Eeeeeeee...... I've always wondered what's so great about them pencils. I guess it's a good thing I'm not keen on them at all.
How do you open the prisma markers?! I returned purchase as they were extremely difficult to open.
I agree with you 100%. They are very difficult to open, but I don't mind because Markers dry up here in the desert. I go through copic markers every few months even if I don't use them. I have had the Prisma Markers for about 2 years and non have dried out.
It's a hard pass for me. I just got the Phoenixcolor 100pc set and am in the process of swatching them today. I prefer zippered pencil cases regardless of how good or pretty the tin is, except for the Phoenixcolors. I'm keeping those cases as they're works of art. I use the tins for stencils and other flat items. I like your idea about writing the number down on the case underneath the pencil.
I hang up the pretty tins usually. The pencils I use often all go in books.
They look like great pencils (Phoenixcolor) but it's another one where you pay for the package (darn nice package)
I don't splurge often on pencils. I have Prismas and Polychromos. The rest are budget pencils. I saw the Phoenixcolor pencils and they spoke to me. I can't explain it better than that. I'm still swatching them (on cheap paper) and hope to start a page today or tomorrow to truly see how they perform.
I have looked at this set sometime ago, but I allready did not want to pay so much for this as I know FC polychromos are way more worth the price. I rather have a 120 set for $50 or even less that I know will be good enough than this for so much money.
O my, never thought of writing the pencilnr in the pencilcase, I often have to refer to my swatches to see where the pencil should go, thanks for the tip!!!
I have the 240 set of the uni pencils they are different, they feel very close to the polychromos and i realy love to color with them, only bad part is they are not sold openstock 😇
Wow where did you find that and did you have to mortgage your house to get them?
Can I give you some advice one RUclipsr to another. You have all those fantastic flip though videos. You probably worked really hard on them. Change up your thumbnails. The books are really tiny on my huge monitor. Can you imagine what they look like on a small device like a phone. Make the book as big as you can and watch what it does for your channel :)
the star joy gold that I recently tried and returned came in a larger box with flimsy trays that bent and dropped the pencils everywhere, very frustrating. If I was spending 150$ on colored pencils I would want something professional, at the very least prismacolor the 150 set is 99$ right now, even a smaller set of luminance would be better. if I could buy a sturdier version of this swing out case I would personally love it to stand up at the back of my desk against the wall and just pull down each section as I needed would be great. My work space is too small for a book or stackable flat trays I wish I had the space but nope. and there is not enough room for a bunch of cups of pencils either I wish I had something that folded like the case you are showing with a sturdy build that would last.
The only things that I have seen in that style were cheap plastic junk at an over inflated price. If I ever see one I'll review it for ya.
Wowzie that's crazy expensive for a cheap pencil I get so discouraged when I read reviews some will say oh they are so wonderful the next one will say they are so terrible then it will keep going back and forth one likes it one doesn't it just keeps going on and on. You don't know what to believe. When you don't have any money to spend anyways on some pencils you have saved enough to get a small set you don't know what to get. What happened about 8 years ago I started to get a set but was afraid they would be bad so I didn't get anything. A friend sent me some Crayola pencils I used them for several years then I got a set from another friend while I was in the hospital for 3 months with a broken hip and a blood infection then physical therapy to learn how to walk again 🙃 🙄😪 he sent me some Prismacolor pencils and one my my daughters went to the dollar tree got me some coloring books it was so helpful getting me through all those months in the hospital then having months of rehab at home too.
I write in all of my pencil cases too. My pencils cost me a lot of money - budget pencils or not - they are expensive. I have just about every brand of pencils and wouldn't store them any other way. I'm probably too obsessive about all of my tools, but I want them to last .
I bought this in Amazon Japan, novelty factor there but you’re right undeserving price, case not practical ..regret buying 😒
I take great comfort knowing I am not alone in my feelings.
😂😅
Ok ladies. Men have man caves. We all need coloring caves with room to work. I have claimed the back lanai to work. Lots of natural light. Many of the ladies in our coloring classes down here in the villages, fl talk about where they work at home. We sure take up a lot of space at our tables when we get together. Will pass on your tips. Susie
I gave mine away. I found them impossible to blend or layer.
She who shall not be named 3D prints that kind of set up for pencils and charges almost $70 USD.
You're paying for the name UNI, which makes Posca.
I use BTKSY I have 2 of those exact same bamboo organizers!
I think somethink like that last wooden holder would'nt be that hard to make yourself...🤔 basicly a bit of wood with holes drilled in it..
That packaging would give me the heebie-jeebies. So does the price. All my sets fit securely into attractive BTSKY cases.
The pencils look loose inside that container it kind of gives me anxiety
They were very loose and kept falling forward. It was good the first time I clicked them down, but after that the plastic loosened up and they fell forward. Maybe they need some sort of metal clicking device and it would work better.
That packaging, to me, looks wasteful. I’d pull them out of that and put them in a book.
Sorry but I completely disagree with you about this entire review. I love everything about these pencils and the case.
They aren't bad pencils. I hope you dont' think I was saying that. I don't think they were worth 150 dollars by a long shot.
