Review on YOUSHARES 192-Slot Colored Pencil Case: Large Capacity Pen Organizer Bag with Zipper for Prismacolor Watercolor Coloring Pencils & Gel Pens - Ideal for Students & Artists (Animal Graffiti) by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not what I expected.

I fell in love with this suitcase as soon as I saw it. The design of the case reminded me of another case I have, so I had to have it with such an adorable alpaca design (and 160 crayons that need a case). It says this case contains 192 pencils, but that would be too many. . My 160 Cezan pencils filled it in. The first problem was figuring out how to use the pins. Pencils should overlap the top row. The third task is to figure out how many pins to put in each rubber band. For 192 pins, the tape requires four pins at a time, making it extremely unwieldy, especially where they overlap and along the center edges. I was able to solve this problem with my 160 pins by strategically placing three or four pins in each lane. The upper ones hold four parts, except those on the edges. The lower ones, overlapping the upper ones, each have three elastic bands. This reduced bulkiness. I still love my case but it will take some getting used to.

  • Not bad, but...
