Cool ideas that you can implement with a permanent marker in your hands

An ordinary permanent marker (including a colored one!) becomes a real magic wand in skillful hands. He fulfills any creative desires. And the amazing projects in our selection are perfect proof of this.

With a marker, you can:

1. Decorate the cups with a cute pattern or cute lettering

If you paint the mug with a marker and send it to “bake” in the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of 180 C, then it will become a pleasant gift for your loved ones for Christmas or Valentine's Day. Thanks to the "baking" pattern will not run away after the first wash.

2. Turn simple plain furniture into a leopard print

This idea is quite suitable for the first attempt at "handmade", because drawing spots is so easy!

If it’s a pity to spoil the furniture with homemade creativity, you can always sew a simple cover or experiment on pillows.

3. Speaking of pillows

Multi-colored markers + alcohol + courage = amazing pillowcases a la watercolor. To obtain this effect, the finished drawing must be generously sprinkled with alcohol from a spray bottle. Here the marker will “float” ... Drying in the car for 30 minutes or a hot iron will help fix the result (only need to be ironed from the inside out!).
