You probably already knew this, but Sharpies are good for way more than just writing. They are also good for hoarding, which is what I do with mine. I have a small Sharpie obsession, and I don’t like to share them, and a friend recently came over and was using one of mine on a project, and casually mentioned that she had used it all up LOLZ, and I gritted my teeth and tried really hard not to be irate about it on the inside, but I’m still talking about it a month later, so yeah, I might have a problem. Whooo. Breathe, Lindsey.
Ok. I’m fine. Really. Anyway, there are Sharpie projects aplenty in the interspace right now, and here’s an especially creative one from Katie at Upcycled Treasures. A rug! She knocked-off a $500 West Elm version for $25! Dare I say, hers looks even better?
I love it! Let’s all make one!
