"I am thankful for family, friends, and delicious food!"  -Stephanie, Office Assistant.

Cool Pencil Case's Top Tips for Organizing

When Easter bunnies come out, so do the dust bunnies. That means one thing: Spring cleaning! Pencil cases are a great way to keep all of your essentials organized. Whether you're an office professional, mom, or student, here are a couple of tips from Cool Pencil Case to keep yourself organized (and save money!) throughout the whole year.

Protect Your Makeup Brushes

Yes, most people purchase a unique pencil case from CoolPencilCase.com to store school supplies. But some of these pencil cases would be great to protect other things -- like makeup brushes! The Dumpling Pencil Pouch's irregular shape would be perfect to protect the fine hairs of of makeup brushes. By keeping the brush hairs at the widest end of the pencil case, you allow extra room for the hairs to keep its shape and apply makeup in the way it was supposed to!

Keeping Your Desk Space Clutter-Free

We often lose some our most important items in a rush. Think about it -- Students shove pens and pencils into the bottom of their school bags once the school bell rings. Adults often have to wrap things up at the office to make it to an important meeting, leaving essential things behind. A great way to keep organized when you're on-the-go is to make sure that your desk space is mobile. Find a pencil case that's as on-the-go as you are. Pencil Roll cases are a great solution. Fit all of your pens, pencils, highlighters, and more in the specialized compartments. Laid flat, the design makes all of your essentials accessible. Best of all, when you're ready to go, simply roll it up and place it in your bag!

Butterfly pencil pouches are also a great alternative. Simply zip up and leave!

Compartments and Pockets Galore!

Like we stated above, compartments and pockets are extremely important. In fact, it's the very function that makes pencil cases a great organizational tool! Sure, there's a few of us that carry only pens and pencils in simple zip-up pouches, but we know there's quite a few school supply kings and queens out there who come prepared to school at all times! A pencil case with compartments is the best way to separate your school supplies by category. With specialized slots, put pens, markers, and highlighters on one side, and pencils and mechanical pencils on the other.

Some of our pencil cases, such as the Mario Pencil Pouch, are large enough to fit daily planners and cellphones. Organizing your school supplies in these compartments also protect them, which will keep your school supplies looking new for much longer. Mechanical pencils can lose their adorable designs if their surfaces are constantly being scratched by pencil case zippers, staplers, scissors, etc.

For the ultimate in compartments, choose the Automatic Pencil Box. With a push of a button, compartments pull out and open up for all of your needs.
