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!

Using oil-based Sharpie will help ensure that the ink is permanent!

I can’t seem to get an answer anywhere as to if a boo boo pillow filled with wheat grain and decorated with a marker can be microwaved ? Sure hope you can help me out or where else I can try. THANKS SO MUCH !!!!!J
Heidi says
Yes, if you decorate it with a Sharpie marker, it can be microwaved! 🙂

Just a warning – some of the Sharpies (particularly black) are NOT light proof. I marked the spines of my books with dewey numbers. Now, 10 years later and moving into a new home, I am having to go back and re-do them with black paint pens because the sharpie has faded.

The one thing I did not see is a decorated sharpie, ie literally sharpie another sharpie so you have an interesting writing/drawing/designing utensil. Also for all that love sharpies and all there many uses and so many different colors in many varieties I believ we its time for use to let our voices be heard in a way of nee suggestions of where to take them next & I do believe that if they entered into new markets to they’d be equally successful as with all gheir other great ideas so I propose Sharpie Glitter markers, then also Sharpie Blow markers ( where the marker is in the center and a blow tube or straw surrounds the entire center and open at both ends so yoh then blow thru the top end thus wisking away just enough ink at once to go onto the paper or whatever substrate your doing it on, thus making the artwork have a spray paint look) or one last idea would be why dont they dive into a gel type ink for markers and not just pens. Actually being into the sign business my self I would really like to see some sort of solvent or eco-solvent markersbecause that type of Ink last so much better in sunlight and all around and thus far the cheapest solution for solvent based ink is buying expensive $8,000+ wide format printers. Sorry for such a lengthy comment but hope you all get something out of it. Tom

Also, the phone one will rub off eventually after normal daily use:(
Love Sharpies, too! Use them with my older kids in my art room all the time. They look pretty amazing on foil, too.
