I Love Sharpies: 20 Great Ideas & Projects!

This post brought to you by Sharpie®. All opinions are 100% mine.


I have to confess that I absolutely {LOVE} Sharpie® markers! They've always been one of my most favorite art and crafting supplies because they're so versatile and easy to use. As a kid I always loved how daring and bold I felt when I used Sharpie® markers for my projects because they're permanent - no turning back once you've started! Back in those days we only had a couple of colors of markers, but today you can find Sharpie® markers in an entire spectrum of colors including neons and metallics (my favorite!). They are now available in convenient 12-packs so you can pick up all of your favorite colors at once (*hint, hint, Santa!*).

If you think that Sharpie® markers are just for drawing and writing, you'll definitely want to check out these amazing projects from some talented bloggers and artists that would be perfect for holiday gifting and decorating. Be inspired by all that Sharpie® markers can do!

who would have thought you could do all that with a sharpie marker? I love they come in so many colors now though I'm such a sucker for colored pens/markers lol

I had no idea you could do all that with sharpie markers!!! I love the creativity!!! So many ideas now!!

WOW! Thanks for all the great ideas! I love Sharpies too and use them but this opens a whole new world!

I love Sharpies too! Can you believe that white chair that had been scribbled in dots with a Sharpie!?

What a fabulous collection - makes me want to get some Sharpies and create something too!

I wonder if the metallic sharpie (like the gold on the mug) can be put in the microwave. Any ideas?

I love it! I love Sharpies too but didn't realize all you can do with them.

If you write with Sharpie on a mug and bake it (some say 10 min at 350 others say 20 @ 350) if is dishwasher and micrwave safe.

Wow that was some terrible spelling/grammar! Sorry!

Thanks for the ideas! I am so about the Sharpie!

I love Sharpies! Great list!

wow amazing i love this creativities thanks for sharing.

On the mugs, I've heard from a lot of people that normal sharpies DO NOT work. Use an oil based sharpie or porcelain marker :)

I like the Sharpie lampshade and frame. I know it would look in my apartment because it actually kinda looks like my home's theme.

Has anyone had any luck with the mug/plate idea?? I did some at Christmas and after baking, it washed right off. Tried doing artwork and waiting 24 hrs then baking, tried baking longer, tried handwashing, tried EVERYTHING!! Would love to find a solution. Help!
