Build This Snazzy Clear Marker rack for $12.50!

Every day someone asks me where I got the marker rack that in behind me on my desk. It is a marker display from a scrapbook store that went out of business 16 years ago. I have not found a replacement anywhere to recommend. I've made them out of cardboard and foam core in the past and that works great but people really like the clear racks so today I decided to see if I could make one with easy-to-find and affordable supplies from the dollar store!

Supplies:
Clear plastic 3-compartment storage boxes from Dollar Tree
Super Glue https://amzn.to/44muX6a

Each of the containers I used will hold the following:
54 skinny waterbased markers (like Zig or Tombows)
30 of the oval markers like copic or blick studio brush
24 of the round markers like ohuhu, prismacolor, promarker etc.

Divide the number of markers you have by the number above corresponding with the size of your markers to calculate how many if the 3-compartment boxes you need to buy. For instance if I had 90 copics I would need 3 boxes. I also recommend making them a bit larger to accommodate a growing collection as you can never be sure dollar tree will have the same style of box in the furure.
