Sharpie wallpaper

Have you ever scolded a toddler for scribbling on the walls? I am guilty of that! After you read this post, you might be inspired to do so yourself.

Sharpie is great for drawing on paper but it works great on your walls too! don't believe me? Look at these creative wall treatments. Mimic the look of expensive wall paper with a sharpie!

Isn't this a fun design? A great idea for a statement wall. The artist is charlotte Mann. A wall, a sharpie and lots of skill and imagination is required to create this wall.

The best thing is that Sharpie's come in a wide range of colors and unlike traditional wallpaper is easy to paint over!

So get your creative hat on, and start drawing on your walls!

Want more great ways to use your sharpie, join me on GFC/Facebook/Twitter.  Do check out the idea gallery!

    "lots of skill and imagination is required"...SIGH! Sadly I am lacking in these areas. However, I can appreciate the skill and imagination of others! Thanks for sharing!

    This is very interesting. I will admit I am a fan of the Mr. Clean sponges, because my toddler likes to express himself, if he finds something to write with.

    Thank you for participating in last week’s Wednesday Window @ Frugality Is Free. I hope you’ll stop by to link up your favorite blog post this week as well.
