Your Sharpie Style: DIY Watercolor Pillow

December 27, 2019 by Kelly 120 Comments

Tell me if you have ever been in a similar situation when you are at the local craft store. You’re oh-so attracted to those colorful packages of Sharpies, so you buy a pack in hopes to finally start your next DIY craft. Months after you make your purchase, those colorful beauties are still sitting on your desk, waiting to be used. They seem to be almost taunting you…reminding you they have been totally neglected! Oops. So, now you really want to create that perfect DIY project with those gorgeous Sharpie pens. The question is..What do you create?

Ready to update your room with your favorite Sharpie colors? That is how I created this beautiful DIY Watercolor Pillow

Your Sharpie Style

Well, look no further! You can finally wipe the dust off your permanent marker collection! Craft author and top-rated Etsy seller, Deborah Green, just came out with her newest book: Your Sharpie Style. Your Sharpie Style has clear and colorful step-by-step instructions on how to transform day-to-day objects (fashion accessories, home décor, etc.) into works of art.

Your Sharpie Style DIY Watercolor Pillow

Craft Ideas To Show Your Sharpie Style

I could not believe you could do so much with the simple use of a Sharpie! The book also covers other artistic mediums such as oil-based and water-based markers, so the sky’s the limit with creative possibilities. With her easy-to-follow guidelines, Green’s book is perfect for any crafter! With more than 75 Sharpie-inspires craft ideas, there is surely one that will catch your eye!

Your Sharpie Style: DIY Watercolor Pillow

Your Sharpie Style, from Harper Collins Publishers, has clear and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions take you through the basics of working with a variety of Sharpie pens.I decided to do a Watercolor Pillow on page 74 using my Sharpie pens. It was super easy to do and a lot of fun. We followed the instructions for making a watercolor effect on page 13. We just made some fun swirls and then painted over them with rubbing alcohol. The result? I think we made a very unique piece of art Caitlin can use in her room! Anohter fun craft we recently finished was a DIY Painted Backpack. It was super easy and super cute!

She is obsessed with Sharpies and loves to write her name on everything she owns with them. I have to hide mine! I think doing some personalized plates sounds fun, and decorating some throw pillows would be a good outlet for wanting to write “Emma” on everything.

    I would use the sharpie markers to create a cute and colorful tote bag for work. My current one is losing its handle.

    I love Sharpies! My husband says it’s an addiction. I like to color with them. They blend nicely and create some wonderful colors. I enjoy using them for detailed “adult” coloring book pages. (Flowers and paisleys, not THAT kind of adult!)
