Remember the Sketch Pen Holder designed by Jamie Cripps and found in the Silhouette Store item #46244? Well, I made two of those and still use them to hold the sketch pens I have left. I probably won't need them after I use up the pens I have because with the new pen holder I can use different kinds of pens in an even wider variety of colors and metalics.
But now there is something else I want to have readily accessible and that is the inks for my new Silhouette Mint stamp maker. I immediately thought of Jamie's sketch pen holder but I wasn't able to adapt it to what I needed. The Mint ink bottles are larger in circumference and a little bit shorter. So, I just sat down and created my own box. Similar to that of the one Jamie made with two pieces that fit inside each other and holes in the top for the ink containers to sit in.
My box is .75 inches deep by 6.75 long by 3.25 wide when assembled. The holes for the ink bottles are .91 circumference and there are 10 of them. I will size the DSP mats .625 wide by 3.25 inches for the ends and 6.8 for the sides. These will sit nicely on the left side of my desk top.
One thing to note is that the caps are all gray so it is hard to tell what color each bottle is. With my box only 3/4" deep a small ring of the color can be seen but I also made labels for the caps
I did my best to color each label close to the color of the ink. I used the white sticker paper from the Silhouette America shop. Time will tell if it stays stuck or not.
So, I have the files for this storage box and since I designed it myself I can share the file. If you would like the file just leave a comment and I will send it to you in a private reply.
Thanks and enjoy!
