You know how certain brand names become so popular that they start being used instead of the item’s name instead? You know, like we use the term Sharpies for all markers now!

Ah, the good ol’ Sharpie marker. Fun fact: the Sharpie was originally just one single marker, the first one available in pen format. Of course, today Sharpies include a whole lot of products, to the delight of crafters and DIYers the world over! That’s not all, Sharpie even sponsored the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race as well as footballer David Beckham!

Yes, so Sharpies are a big deal, and they’re also quite a versatile tool to craft with. Sharpies work on most surfaces, including fabric, tile, wood and plastic. Some projects require additional heating or baking, or dripping some alcohol. Today, we’ve got a collection of some bright and colorful Sharpie crafts for kids, which also make for great gifts this holiday season!
