The Sharpie® marker was introduced in 1964, the first permanent pen of its kind, coveted for its ability to write on almost any surface. Fifty years later, Sharpie is still coveted for its ability to write on almost any surface. I’ve seen a resurgence in the past few years of crafters re-claiming the tool. Sharpie designs are showing up in kitchens, all over on dishes and mugs and more. I, for one, love the results. And in an era where hot products come and go with startling speed, this reliance on a tried and true product is somehow refreshing. Here are some DIY ideas for you:
