Full Version: Yet another odd ball pen holder

This funky pen holder is a combination of a Harry and David container from a gift basket last Christmas and empty syringe covers. Though I prefer to have my pens lying horizontal pre-use, this holder saves space.

Pretty cool!
But I read somewhere that you should always keep FPs standing up, so the ink doesn't dry up, or something.

I like that!

Perhaps with enough syringe covers, you could rubber band them (or use some adhesive) together in a hex pattern and do away with the cup altogether.

BTW, nice Safari. Got its twin right here with me. smile.gif

I don't know what to say about this. I keep about a dozen pens inked. Some are stored upright and some are stored flat in a pen case. I have no problems with either. But - you're right - I think the expert advice is to store them upright.

I think this is a great idea. Wondering what other things could be banded together to make a holder.
