15 Sharpie Projects To Decorate Your Home

This roundup is for Decorating your home with a few supplies, including sharpie pens and basic craft supplies. Using sharpie pens not only allow you to keep your home decorating on a budget but allows you to create unique original pieces where no two items will be the same. If you do not have a steady hand for using a sharpie pen on crafts, don’t worry, rustic farmhouse style is very popular right now and small imperfections in your design just adds to the character.

So which sharpie pen should you use for which surface and how do you make it stick to that surface? Here are my top tips for using Sharpie pens in DIY Crafts.

Fabric

Sharpies require heat to set them into the fabric. Either place the item in the dryer for 15 – 20 minutes on high heat or use an iron. The iron should be on the highest setting; iron for five minutes on both sides with the steam turned off. The key is heat. I always use some baking paper or freezer paper between the design and my iron to protect my iron.

Sharpie does make fade-resistant fabric markers if you want a bright long-lasting color grab.

Ceramic

I 100% prefer an oil-based sharpie for ceramics, but if you use regular Sharpies, you can still set it to the mug or the plate. Bake the mugs at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. These mugs and plates do not do well in the dishwasher so definitely handwash.

Metal and Glass

Use a can of clear acrylic sealer and spray over the top. For glass use the ceramic methods or use a glass paint pen.

Plastic

Plastic is shiny and hard for a pen to grab onto it. You can make the surface more “grabbable” by Sanding it with 120-grit sandpaper where you want your design to go. Then seal with sealer when dry.
