OMG! I got a the pack of 2 and it's a game changer! I use one for pencils and the other as a wrist rest. The little box makes a great tray for misc bits like erasers and sharpeners. THANK YOU LORI!

[@beckymacallester6898]

Also found that my tombow erase fits in it, and you can even add some gel pens. I just ordered more so that I have enough for different projects. 🙂

[@MPetrovich23]

Wow 😮 color me impressed !!!! I think they are going to see a huge influx in sales for those tiny purple mattress beds.

[@Maryandtrina]

Thanks to your viewers who are reviewing the mattress for us who need a new one. I just may order a new mattress because of you Lori! And I love purple!

[@aclutteredlife]

Omg! The horror, the shock, the absolute TERROR when you shook it!! My heart rate still hasn't gone down x))) But WOW! That is absolutely awesome!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing this!!

[@cindyclark9816]

Perfect idea, especially for when I'm in my travel trailer! No more rolling off the table when I'm working on a project.

[@antoineveling2650]

Ha ha. I am doing exactly that now and my trailer Le eking app says it’s level. But my pencils are rolling everywhere off this camper table top… wish I could find this small purple mattress in Australia. Cheers…

[@jenniferjohnson7277]

Such a great idea!! I'll have to admit, I was about to have a heart attack when you shook your pencils upside down lol.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

I glued toilet paper rolls around a big Moccona coffee glass jar and painted them the rainbow colours and stuck my cheap coloured pencils in them... and added weighted beans in the jar and stood my painting brushes in the middle.... then glued the whole thing to a lazy Susan... cute and functional 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@themaddtatter6679]

Amazing, it's a perfect little pencil bed! Or even a wrist rest! Great find and ingenuity!

[@jett8193]

Hi Lori~ Yay! I just got my little Purple beds (I ordered 5)! These are SO cool! Thanks for the tip! 💜

[@magereina]

"send me a bed, i'll send you a pencil"🤣🤣🤣 @PurpleMatress you should totally sponsor Lori!

[@janmarch5039]

Wow, that will be such a handy way to keep track of pencils and tools when working…I bought an extra one to throw into a birthday gift for a girlfriend..can’t wait to see the look on her face when she opens it!!!

[@ilovecoloringhazel4597]

Oh My Gosh! Ms Lori is back! I love to watch you, when your excited about a product. Your enthusiasm is catchy! Thanks for a new inventive way to hold pencils! 😁

[@carolbatchelor5855]

Oh my goodness, Lori! I thought at least some of your pencils would fall out when you started shaking that thing! And you shook it hard. Now you can work on a collaboration with the Purple mattress people to create a line of desk accessories. 💜

[@PursuingHeaven]

I told myself I didn't need these, but I just ordered 10...something tells me I will figure out all kinds of uses for these with my art supplies and no longer have so many pencils all over the house. I always work on at least 2 or 3 different pages at a time to not get burned out on one and having one per project will help me be better organized. I am hoping they fit my paint and water brushes...after reading some of the comments it looks like they do. You are a genius, Lori.

[@ColorMyWorld]

They do fit some of my brushes but I did have to modify some of the holes. Don't be put off with how small the holes are. They grab onto the pencil and stretch. I was able to fit my entire set of gel pens and with a few modified holes they are holding the copic markers that I use to create shadows. Keep the box so that there is something stable under it. Works much better when it gets very stretched.

[@oliviarinaldi5963]

OhmyDog!!!! This is exactly what I've been wanting for so long for my WIP. You, Lori, are a genuis! Thank you.

[@debbie9001]

My son has a purple mattress.... He loves it!

[@andyheather3060]

Wow! Thats awesome!! I'm glad you thought of that! Thanks.

[@lucycburton-johnson5757]

I just ordered some Squishys! Can't wait to use them! I've been searching a while for something for my pencils, and thanks to you I found it! I bought 2 packs (5 in each) for $20. I've subscribed to your channel... The least I could do to thank you for this info!

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

Just freaking genius!!!

[@GailMarie1972]

I just ordered 30 of them. Thank you Lori 💜💜💜💜💜

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Whoa only $2! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@countermelody167]

The absolute TRUST that none of those pencils would fall out omg

[@Loonit23]

Wow this looks awesome! With this pencils can't roll of the table and fall. Too bad they don't ship internationaly. Thanks for sharing!

[@tinawilliams6000]

OMG!! That is hilarious and awesome! I have severe scoliosis. So I have a purple mattress. I love it. The only bad thing I have to say, is the mattress does not hold your body heat. But with an electric blanket it is perfect. Gonna have to go to their website and get one of these samples. So awesome!❤❤

[@ColorMyWorld]

That's exactly why I want this mattress. I make my own heat. I am like an oven. I would never turn on the heat during the winter if it were up to me. My entire family disagrees and they make me put it on. It's never cold enough for me.

[@carolbatchelor5855]

That sounds like the perfect mattress for me! I'm so hard-natured. I have enough heat for me and several other people too!

[@ColorMyWorld]

@@carolbatchelor5855 I want a new mattress because the one I have in my bedroom (which cost me a fortune) is virtually unsleepable. It's brand new although several years old because we can't sleep on it. By the middle of the night we are locked into the foam and burning up. I finally said that it was enough and started looking at the Purple mattress because it's a cool one and my kids have the pillows. They say it's great.

[@FireOfThePhoenix]

Absolutely genius! I just went over there to buy some! They are now $3 for one, but you still get 2 for $5 and so on. Of course I couldn't just buy ONE 🤣.., Also, still free shipping. Free shipping!? I couldn't believe it 😆😎 Thank you again for the idea! 🥰

[@therhondaruss9095]

Thank you thank you!!!! Just ordered a 2 pack

[@jicolourist]

Brilliant! Just ordered some for my messy desk

[@Finilikescoloring12]

Omg, you make me laugh so hard when you started shaking that think lol

[@juanitaf5879]

I just saw this and had to order the 2 pack. Great idea and funny video! Thanks for sharing!

[@alanteutemacher530]

The purple colored pencil porcupine pencil holder. Go for it Lori. So cool. Susie

[@sallytreloar6425]

Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't belive how good it was! Thank you!

[@marizen2]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@be_a_bright_sparkle3687]

There’s a fantastic marketing opportunity here…🤣🥰

[@leslieladyhawke]

I bought 5 just now! Thx!

[@diannedonnelly7796]

Just ordered a Tiny purple bed. Actually two. Love your discovery. Also love way look out side the box. That why you are great artist. love you take care

[@Fabii1770]

So cool! I want one! Takes up so little space, very awesome find.

[@Fabii1770]

My Jaw dropped when you flipped them upside down and they didn’t fall! And you can sort through the pencils. Wow! Thanks so much for this awesome find!

[@tbm7187]

Omg! So frickin brilliant! I love your brain. 😂 I use Pastel pencils. They are very delicate. This would be brilliant for hanging on my Easel to hold them !

[@Coloryourheartout]

I got mine on the way. What a great idea.

[@terrycfni3657]

Thank you …. Just purchased 2

[@susanmacdonald4288]

Very clever!

[@GiGi-Gigi408]

Lol o I just love this u had me lol when u shook like crazy 🤪 your going to make purple some money now great idea and I just love it I can't wait to check em out I could be sitting coloring in my rv as we drive all over 💜

[@barbarawinski2118]

Thanks for the great idea! I'm always having a pencil disappear when I'm in the middle of coloring. This should help prevent that problem. Even my cats shouldn't be able to make away with my stuff now (well, at least not my pencils)! My order is in!

[@jamiecee4960]

That's Awesome. Great tips. Ty.

[@tammygeorge1638]

Sold!! To the lady in the second row!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️😂🤣🤭🤭,Wow! Yep! Got to have it!🙋‍♀️❤👍

[@mwGoosman]

That’s an amazing hack for colored pencils! I would agree, thank you 😊

[@kristiofca1]

Oh boy! Just ordered the 2 pack with free shipping! Thank you, Lori!!

[@The.anonymous.phlebotomist]

Omg! That’s Fantastic

[@4alicekg]

I've been using small, narrow little wooden box things with a big flat magnet on the back from target that was advertised for back to school locker storage, then I cut paper towel rolls into size and put one in each so it had 2 sections, but my pencils still just flop around in all directions. I also chose wood because it's quiter when putting my pencils in at night when everyone else is sleeping, so like, OH MY GOD. This is EVERYTHING!!!! I had even just the other night made my own vertical stand up divided pencil holder (I got so much gorilla glue on my fingers and hands 😂). But I am now a full blown squishy fan. I can't wait to get these!! And I'm on an insanely tight budget from the pandemic and not having a job anymore. This is sheer perfection. I can't thank you enough Lori. I wish I could hug you right now 😭 You're a godsend 🙌

[@TheCasey0811]

Omgosh this is hilarious and so smart. Also, get the mattress!! I have the purple 3 and it’s like sleeping on a cloud ☁️ Best thing I’ve ever bought!

[@camcab147]

It looks like a purple waffle! Cool!

[@ameliaameliaworks3678]

This is a riot! Good job : )

[@terilynn1071]

Tfts I ordered a 5pk!! Appreciate you so much 💖🦋🌻🥰

[@annaguettabi3974]

Pencils got a concussion! :)

[@okoriesgirl6391]

Okay, they at least need to sponsor your videos. Lol. You convinced me. I bought two of them for a total of $6.49. Thanks for the "Life hack" lol

[@electrichen6243]

That would be great rest for my poor elbow. Sadly they don't sell in UK

[@MultiFly5]

I love the way you think, Lori! I may be ordering a couple in the near future......

[@Msboochie2]

You weren’t lying! That really just may the perfect pencil storage. I’m off to get some for myself, and maybe the mattress too, because I do need a new one. I’m gonna hurry before they realize what they have and Jack up the price. Lori you really do this pencil stuff well! You did it again! Thanks for yet another genius discovery. KZbin, Amazon, Brutfuner, and Castle Arts should thank you too.

[@marjoriewinston8275]

That's fantastic. What a super idea. Thanks for the info.

[@edinabatori8109]

Hi Lori! That is freaking awesome! 🤩 I love it! Unfortunately it is in US like many good things... I asked them they do not ship outside of US. now I have to find out if something similar is available in Europe. 😒

[@Loonit23]

Me too. And I'm not sure you can something similar because it's unique and they probably own the patent or something like that. It's the same for me. :(

[@suziedoozie6478]

Wowie! This is a game changer!

[@Butterfly8593]

Lol you were the cutest, like a kid at Christmas😂😂

[@kim99may]

I don’t need pencil storage on my desk and I want to stick them in one and use one for my wrist! Lol 😝

[@ginamcgregor8412]

Thank you Lori ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@reneestipa3406]

Amazing love it

[@yazosoyo]

Wow, it really is genius!

[@melissaaldosari8024]

😮 so cool!

[@janedoe892]

Brilliant, Lori! Thanks 😊

[@FernCurtis]

Just ordered! Been using empty vitamin bottles, but they tip over if bumped just wrong! Thanks! ☺️

[@melissaaldosari8024]

YES! 🙌

[@brendarocheck3988]

Thanks Lori!

[@cheryl6716]

That is such an awesome idea Lori, thanks for sharing.

[@jillo4171]

I just found your channel. I love your style and how you explain coloring. I am totally getting these purple things!

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Oh. My. GOD!! Best idea EVER! I now need like 10 of these. And not only is it a great pencil holder...it's shaped like a little bed with a pillow so you're literally putting your pencils to bed when you're not using them!🤣🤣

[@RealMelodyBlue]

That....is..... awesome! I need this!! My desk is worse!!

[@ColorMyWorld]

Yes HAHA I have thought that we are so similar because your desk looks like mine.

[@RealMelodyBlue]

@@ColorMyWorld I should send you a pic, you'd laugh because they are so similar, LoL 😂😆

[@MS-kb9tn]

Wow - this is amazing and thank you for sharing!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

“Send me a bed, and I’ll send you a pencil.” Lol lol!! I am in the UK, and I wonder if there is an equivalent thing here?

[@kocobee]

(Happy Dance) It sounds like you're like you're back to full health. That's wonderful! I LOL at "Send me a bed! I'll send you a pencil!" HaHa!!! And this was a cool life hack too.

[@ColorMyWorld]

Yes, I feel good. I woke up a few days ago like I had come out of a coma. I didn't realize how sick I was until I wasn't anymore.

[@jeanneconnolly8769]

Neat pencil holder. Thank you for sharing.

[@darlastitz6767]

OMG That is BRILLIANT!!!!

[@Maryandtrina]

A seat cushion would also be nice, maybe with color my world written on it!😃

[@robinlemerond6149]

Just ordered mine. Thanks

[@sharonwilson5489]

I havent been commenting much lori but im here and i love you xo

[@Colorista_1]

Thats fascinating! I would have never thought of it! Wait until purple gets inundated with colorists ordering those. Lol

[@ColorMyWorld]

The website said to come up with new ideas for the squishy and I am shocked nobody came up with this one.

[@imbrenny64]

What an awesome idea, unfortunately not in Australia aleast it gives me an idea on what sort of objects to look for

[@judithpharo8073]

Best idea yet! Need a way to market. Weighted secure base, glass maybe? My workspace is the same as yours and I am forever dropping them. You are my wonder woman, constantly amazing. Thanks again!

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Omg Lori, this is absolutely genius! I've looked at the Purple bed website because I need a new bed and I love purple lol. Who the heck would think you'd discover an awesome way to store pencils on your desk where they're safe and secure while you're working looking in a mattress store. 😂 No more pencils rolling off the desk onto the floor to be lost and/or broken. It occurs to me that organization and neatness are sort of art. And they call artists messy. Pffffft! I beg to differ! P.S. I love the way the pencils dance and jiggle in the "bed". Those are Vegas dancing pencils, baby!

[@ColorMyWorld]

I am not messy. I am in an Alpha State of Mind and everyone in Lori Land has desks that look like mine. I am sticking to that story.

[@GwyllionFaye]

Lol. That is awesome 💜

[@lju5001]

Crazy!

[@justbeingbeth8108]

Crazy! Fantastic find!

[@MariaSimiakaki]

Oohhh my!!! When you shook that thing I felt like watching a thriller on TV 😅😂🤣

[@ColorMyWorld]

Like I was shaking a baby. We all die a slow death when I do my pencil experiments.

[@karenwilson9218]

I ordered 2. Great idea!

[@nancyhappily9503]

OMGosh, I bet they change the sample policy to a small fee after they are swamped with requests. Lmbo you were so excited. Your enthusiasm is wonderful

[@alisonwalton322]

sooo cool xx

[@Yreve2]

Game changer. This is a game changer!!!

[@lorisharp1152]

Great hack Lori!

[@tabbylynn4130]

Oh lord I just had a heat attack !! Lol this is soooo cool!!! Ty!!!

[@leslieladyhawke]

How cool is that!

[@Sarah-said]

Just came across your channel tonight and subscribed. I'm really glad that I caught this video since I have the same issues with a messy coloring area and because I had just ordered about 410 gel pens and I had no idea how I would store them. This was perfect! I just ordered a 5 pack of the best pencil & pen holders! 😊

[@eileenharris182]

Thank you so much for this information, I just ordered the 5 pack!! :)

[@lflines]

Wonderful tip! I just ordered, so excited to get them.
