New Kawaii Calculators!

For some of you, math might be a tad bit boring. But who said your calculators had to be? Check out our new selection of calculators that made their debut on CoolPencilCase.com last week!

Is it a scrumptious scoop of ice cream on a cone, or is it a calculator? Why not have both? The ice cream scoop actually protects the calculator's display by sliding up and down. Check out more images of the Ice Cream Sliding Calculator here!

We posted up a pic of our Kokeshi Doll Calculator on our Facebook page a couple days ago, and so many people were so excited to get their hands on one! The best part of this calculator? The maze game on the back!




Here in the office, the 2 in 1 ruler is a favorite! The fun designs are a plus, but most importantly, it's a great space-saving tool in your pencil case.

Check out more calculators in our new arrivals section!

Craft Item of the Day: Beetle Tip Highlighter



We admit it. This week we might be just a tad bit obsessed with the new highlighters we just received, but hey, it's all for great reason. The Beetle Tip Highlighter, which is definitely as interesting as it sounds, is a great tool that brings highlighting to a whole new level. Check out the diagram below!

It's all in how you decide to use this funky highlighter! Using one side over the other makes for a different type of line. In just one tool, you're able to highlight and draw as usual, create double lines with the multitip and doodles with the thin tip!

Craft Item of the Day: Gel Stick Neon Highlighters!

Whether you're an artist or a student, we all know how some highlighters can bleed through papers. It's a mess when writing notes, and even worse for craft projects (a total nightmare for thin stationery paper, right?).

Here's a great alternative the regular ink highlighters. Our Gel Stick Neon Highlighters are made of a gel tip that easily glides over pen ink and even laser ink from your printer. The gel even sticks on to glossy surfaces like magazine pages. Highlight over your notes and watch the ink stay in place. For crafters, watch the ink draw smoothly over your most delicate papers. How great!

Happy National Crafts Month!

It's time to get our creative juices flowing and celebrate National Crafts Month! Woo! We've got a great lineup of inspiration and craft tutorials just for you guys. We found some great bloggers to team up with to give you an extra boost of inspiration for all your crafting needs -- Stay tuned!

But in the meantime, every couple of days, we'll be featuring some of our top craft products to get you started on your own projects at home!

The Art Mechanical Pencil isn't quite something you'll find in your local office supply store. These erasable pencils use exclusive rectangular-shaped lead, which comes in handy in more ways than one.

Here's a close-up of the lead. As an artist, you're able to control the thickness of the lines you create. A narrow angle creates thinner line, while the use of a wider angle creates thicker lines. We found that the wider angle was really useful for shading (and a lot quicker too, compared to a dull point on a drawing pencil), and using a narrow line is awesome for defining outlines. This useful tool comes with either black, red, yellow, green and blue mechanical lead. Don't forget, you can collect all of the colors with our refills!

Do you have a one-of-a-kind creation that you'd like to show on CoolPencilCase.com's blog? E-mail support@coolpencilcase.com now to get your art shown!

Happy crafting! :D
