How to Make Your Own Marker Kits

While you can purchase pre-made marker kits, the types and colors of markers that they contain may not always be exactly what you're looking for. Markers come in different types including dry-erase, permanent and art markers. A homemade marker kit allows you to completely customize its contents. Give the kit as a gift to a budding artist or keep it for your own personal use.
