Start Something New With Sharpie Giveaway!

Ashley Drewes on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:43 pm 

I use sharpies to repair shoes and garments all the time – hide a or cover a flaw, turn a stain into art!

Kaylynn on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:44 pm 

I once covered an entire pair of jeans with drawings and signatures from my best friends. Oh highschool!

Nancy on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:45 pm 

I’ve had a lover use Sharpie to write secret love messages on my back.

Amanda dupree on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:47 pm 

When I was younger I used sharpies for eyeliner.

Carren on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:48 pm 

I like to draw on my hubby with Sharpies. He’s always wanted a tattoo, so I oblige with temporary ones!

Jenelle @ TrashN2Tees on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:52 pm 

craziest (my boys) have done with sharpies is- scribbling all over my white refrigerator and walls… classic.

Jen Jordan on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:53 pm 

I would love to get a blank wall or canvas and create the biggest and most colorful mural ever!

shelli le fay on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 4:54 pm 

on march 26th there was a protest in london, uk, against the government’s plans to cut public services. of course, i had my trusty sharpie with me, and on the side of the very famous nelson’s column in trafalgar square, i wrote ‘one solution – revolution!’ – and then ran away before i was caught!

sharpies – the revolutionary’s pen!

lisaski on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 5:30 pm 

Can’t believe I’m admitting this… oh, what I’ll do for Sharpies. When I was around 15 or 16 years old, I drew a boa constrictor in black Sharpie up the arm of my denim jacket, with its head resting on the left shoulder. (These were the days before colorful Sharpies.) And I never washed it. The jacket was also adorned with a Beasties Boys button (Fight for Your Right days), and a yellow button with faux-Chinese writing that said “Yuck Foo”.

I’ve never used sharpies (they are not available in Germany ( ) but would love love love to! So here is a crazy idea: i would totally sharpie my craft room walls, drawing vintage sewing patterns all over them <3

Kristin Jones on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 5:57 pm 

I use sharpies all the time for minor shoe repairs (covering scuffs) and furniture repairs. I have a three year old so we have lots of those!!

Theresa on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 5:57 pm 

In my first apt, my roommate and I couldnt find cheap curtains that we liked. So we went to the dollar store, got some white curtains and sharpied our own design! This was way before color sharpies lol! But we got sooo many compliments!

Jessica M on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 5:57 pm 

i’ve been looking for the fabric paint ones and have yet to find any, i believe i can find some use for them (i’m looking at you future cross stitch projects). i also have some bare bedroom walls….

My boyfriend “tattooed” me with a sharpie once… to cover up a bad tattoo of mine he took one of my doodles of a whale and threw in some finger waves. it was pretty sick. then when that washed off he drew over said bad tattoo with a Zoo York logo and we tricked some friends into thinking i was dumb enough to get that actually tattooed on my leg forever.

Jen on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 6:29 pm 

I use Sharpies ALL the time – for home improvement projects, for covering nicks in furniture or that gouge in the laminate floor, or for silly things like decorating over the logos on free pens.

Janel M. on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 6:54 pm 

This sounds mean, but I promise I won’t ACTUALLY do it…I’ve wanted to Sharpie my dog. He’s a giant, pure white American Bulldog, and I want to draw zebra stripes on him!

I always at least 1 sharpie on hand – you never know when you might want someone to autograph your shirt?
Great for “polishing” my black cowboy boots!
I have used them for decorating lots of things – shoes, aprons, curtains, etc
My sweetie won’t use anything else to wright with!
Sharpies are just the best!!!

Amylee on Mon, 29th Aug 2011 9:30 pm 

An old boyfriend and I once covered the entire interior of his 86 Barina with quotes from Anchorman (all written in Sharpie).

Then we tried to sell it. Apparently not everyone wants to buy a car with “This burrito is good, but it is filling” on the drivers side door.

I use to do the standard: draw on jeans & shoes, but I also used to color my hair with Sharpies. Just a streak here or there. I had also used them to draw on my bedroom wall when I was 13 (only because I could sleep). My husband uses them all the time at the radio station. Apparently some of the announcers need the bold read letters to reconize an ad cart.

Sharpies are awesome!!

Jen Ell of Jen Ell's Revenge on Tue, 30th Aug 2011 9:23 am 

Like others, I have used them plenty of times to cover up nicks, scratches and stains on clothing. I’ve used them when painting clothing to lay out the design or help get a super crisp or fine line.

Nikki on Tue, 30th Aug 2011 10:50 am 

Truthfully I trace out all my sewing patterns with a fine point Sharpie marker. It works the best for me, especially on felt. I also love to draw with Sharpies. My husband knows the best way to get out of the dog house is to buy me a new pack of Sharpies. Way better than flowers!

Aimee on Tue, 30th Aug 2011 11:37 am 

Sharpies are great for covering ugly colors on shoes. I’ve also used Sharpies to cover bleach stains on clothing. My daughter loves to do Sharpie tattoos.

Jill Thom on Tue, 30th Aug 2011 12:04 pm 

Sharpies! Better than sliced bread..
I would like to Sharpie my small laundry room into an aquarium. All the bright intense colors, wide tips, small tips, etc.

Carleen on Tue, 30th Aug 2011 3:34 pm

My sister discovered that you can write with sharpie on mirrors and it magically wipes off. I would love to have sharpies to write sweet notes to my husband on occasion and eventually to my kiddos on their mirrors.

Maria on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 12:25 am 

Ive always wanted to “paint” my bedroom with sharpies, just to see how many and how long it takes. Usually I give myself some odd sharpie tattoos also ^_^
Also I love leaving myself reminders on my mirror with sharpie (since I look there a lot ^^;) its a good way to not forget to call someone back or do something important that I otherwise forget :]

I often Sharpie fabric! I work with a lot of home decor fabrics that have natural flaws in the weave and if it’s a printed fabric many times will have a small spots that don’t get printed – so I play fill in the blank!

I’m really into using fabric Sharpies right now and lace to make snakeskin looking fabric. I’d also think it’d be real cool to use Sharpies for wall art… like an entire wall.

Kymm O'Malley on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 1:26 pm 

My daughter desperately wanted rainbow zebra print Converse style tennis shoes. We could only find black and white. So I sat down with a pack of colored Sharpies and colored in the white parts in a rainbow tie dye pattern. They were awesome, she liked them and got tons of compliments on them! Woo Hoo – I got major Mom points on that project!

What would I do with a bundle of sharpies? Scrapbook, color, doodle, fix the bleach stain on a black shirt, doodle on my shoes, lable things for the kids. make notes for the kids lunches, etc etc. Its a hard question to answer considering sharpies are one of those things that always have the potential for something new.

Lorelei Hutchings on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 2:55 pm 

I use Sharpies for all my pattern making which I know is bad, but I just love them. there’s just something about sharpies, once I pick one up I have to draw on something.

Shawnna on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 3:21 pm 

I have used Sharpies to fix scratches on tables. I have used them to paint my nails and I know someone who has used a fine point sharpie as eyeliner when hers ran out (please dont try this)

TinaMaeRebel on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 3:54 pm 

I once got a bleach stain on my brand new black fender guitar tank! GRRR…but I used a black sharpie to camouflage the stain and all was better with the world. I’ve also been known to use black sharpies to touch up nicks and scratches on my black kitchen appliances…they work awesome for that…oh and for touching up flaws on black leather boots! Sharpies are definitley a necessary staple in my house.

Michelle jadaa on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 6:30 pm

Stephanie on Wed, 31st Aug 2011 7:20 pm 

I haven’t done anything too crazy, have definitely used them to cover up dings or scratches in things.

Vanthia on Thu, 1st Sep 2011 7:43 am 

hmm… well, there was that time when I was on a student ambassador trip (this was over a decade ago) that we got so bored being on the bus constantly that we started doodling around and drawing temporary tattoos on each other. it ended up escalating, and when we got to the hotel one girl drew one that took up most of another girls back… we were all bummed that they didn’t last as long as we expected them to though ….but I still have the pictures somewhere of how they all came out.

This past winter my carport caved in due to the vast amount of snow that had accumulated. It crushed three of the doors and caved a portion of the roof in on my little black Jeep Liberty. It was a sad day…. I had to remove all of my Jack Skellington things and wait to see what the insurance company had to say. My father and I owned a paint and auto body business and we are capable of fixing the vehicle. The insurance company sent us a check that would cover the cost of repairing the car. We purchased new doors and a pin welder to pull the dents from the roof. Unfortunately one of the doors was silver and the pin welder hadn’t shipped fast enough. We were stuck with a silver back passenger door until we could get the welder. I was quite self-conscious about it as everyone stared at my car. I decided that if they were going to stare, they might as well have something fun to look at. I decorated the door with sharpies and wrote in large lettering “Go ahead. Point and laugh!” Granted, people still stared, but they knew that the young woman behind the wheel knew they were staring and had a good sense of humor about her mismatched car.
