Thanks so much for the idea! I put together a box today and filled it with pencils. Works great!

How clever! I was looking at cigar boxes but had not figured out the problem with fitting a larger pad of watercolor paper in it but you just used that saw! Now I can make my pachade box. Thank yoiu so much for sharing your ideas.

I think I may end up making multiple sizes. (of boxes, not sketchbooks 😁)

[@marilynalberts4508]

So great you have really given me great ideas

[@ChrisBreier]

Those turned out great! I'm not letting you anywhere near my sketchbooks though! 😂

[@PaintWithPencil]

Hah. It's a new way to get over the fear of making a bad drawing and ruining a new sketchbook. Maybe it will catch on?😁
