I love Sharpies, I think they are one of the most useful and versatile tools out there for a creative DIY’er. They can take any item from plain Jane to totally fab in minutes! Here are just a few ways Sharpies can be used to improve an everyday item into a fabulous one of kind statement piece.

1.Piggy Banks- Make these adorable banks with a set of Sharpie markers and vinyl.

2. Mugs- From decorating for you and your special someone, to giving as a gift to a long distant friend, these Sharpie decorated mugs are creative way to show you care!

3. Benches- Have a table that has wooden benches around it? Take a Sharpie paint marker and personalize it for you and your family!

4. Pillows- Use Sharpies and regular rubbing alcohol on a pillow canvas cover to make this water-like effect.

5. Lamp Shades- Write your favorite quote, song, or poem on an old lamp shade.
