I saw a post where a ceiling lighting tile was cut up and placed in a box and used to carry markers.  I showed it to my husband and asked him to make me something to sit on the counter so I could place all my markers and specialty pens in there and have them at my fingertips when scrapping or making cards.  I love how it turned out.  He used two ceiling lighting tiles cut in half and stacked on top one another (so that gives a 4 layer height). He glued them to a piece of wood so I can move it around if I need to and then added some molding around the edges to give it a finished look.
