Sharpie home decor

The sharpie works on every surface. Metal, wood, fabric, canvas and walls. We saw how some creative people have used the sharpie to adorn their walls.  Let's see what else you can achieve using this tiny little marker.

Here is what she said " This dresser has some of my fabric stash in there. My son had written on my dresser with a black sharpie pen. Instead of getting mad, I said to myself, "why not join him?". This dresser sits in my sewing/craft room."

Talk about going bold! I bet she gets asked all the time how she did it!

Isn't this table a work of art! It reminds me of a tattoo or a henna design. All this was done with a black sharpie.
