Sharpie Permanent Markers

Sharpie  //  Sharpie was invented in 1964 and is the number one selling permanent marker in the world. Since its introduction, Sharpie has developed a loyal following and a wide array of uses – from autograph signing to fine art. The full line of Sharpie markers is perfect for people who want to express themselves and "uncap what's inside."

The Sharpie permanent marker was the first pen-style permanent marker. Today it is the preferred autograph marker of athletes, celebrities, politicians and more. A high quality tip and superior ink allows users to write on virtually any surface – from wood and stone to plastic and metal and, of course, paper.

MISSION: To inspire people to "uncap what's inside" and express themselves creatively!

Sharpie your Calendars!

Posted by Whitney in Holidays, Ideas, Other, Winter on 11 29th, 2009 | no responses

In a brave attempt to spice up my calendar this December, I skipped the usual Google search: “Downloadable/Printable Calendar” and decided to make my own.  It’s not much but definitely looks good and is a reminder that the holidays are quickly approaching. 

This is a VERY simple project and I bet that we can get through it in 5 easy steps!

Here’s what you’ll need:

A piece of cardboard/poster board, 31 small wooden ornaments, glue, a Sharpie Metallic, Sharpie Oil Based Paint markers in White (not shown below) and Metallic Gold (Metallic Silver is also available) and a Black Fine Point Sharpie.

Materials for calendar

(I used brown poster board, serving as the back of the calendar)

1st Step

Color your ornaments silver, gold and white with your Sharpie markers. 

2nd Step

After the ornaments are colored, skatter them around on the poster board to your liking and glue them down.

3rd Step

Next, number each ornament 1 through 31 in numerical order with a Black Fine Point Sharpie.  Try using different font styles to give the calendar a little extra somethin’!

4th Step

With your Black Fine Point Sharpie, write “DECEMBER” along the left side of the calendar. 

 

…and VOILA!

There you have it, your very own custom made seasonal calender that can be used year after year!

This season, UNWRAP WHAT’S INSIDE and discover all the creative uses for Sharpie markers and pens!  Stay tuned for more pictorial How-Tos, Video How-Tos (plus outtakes!), gift ideas and more.

*Happy Holidays*
