So in an art journaling group, I saw someone else gush about the fatter set of markers so I poked at the site a few days later and found some more things perfect for a crafter's desk!
- square large dual tip marker set
- finer dual tip marker set
- 2 decks of cards
- 2 small plastic baskets
- fiberboard coated desk organizer in a lovely floral design.
- glass sprayer
I'm not sure whether it's broken or user error already after two nice sprays. I will attempt to diagnose the problem or apply hot glue to it tomorrow. But all the items were $20!*
I took a couple pics below so you could see how the 12" desk organizer fits items.. The right most section is approx 2.5 decks of card wide... the wide sections are less than 2 decks deep, while easily fitting 6x8" paper pad or heidi swapp planner insert in either way. It also fits the fatter markers easily, 2 deep.
Neither package of markers say they are alcohol based so I tested them. Both after left to dry for hours and writing freshly did not react noticeably to a wet paintbrush -- the larger markers do not bleed at all on this cover stock. The finer tip set had a little bit of creep in the freshly applied test from getting the paper wet, but there was no color spreading in the surface water at all, and no reaction in the dry sample when water was applied. All the colors tested bleed thru the cardstock easily though- so def not something to use in your planner unless you only use page fronts and use a mop page between your active sheets.
This budget was only held to so easily because Five Below does not currently have the stickers I was used to in stores in 2019 listed on their website. I do not know if this is because they stopped carrying so many or just simply don't list them online yet.
Hope you found this helpful and please share if you made projects with finds at Five Below!
*Now this is before tax and shipping (which is a super reasonable flat rate) and I did order a few other household items to divide that cost out between.
