DIY Sharpie Love Pillows

Today I wrote on my pillows with a sharpie! It was a spur of the moment decision and I just went for it. Took me all of maybe 60 seconds?

I was quite proud of the hubby, because he noticed as soon as he came in from shoveling...and even better, he didn't realize it was me who did it! He asked, "When do you get that love pillow?"  Well, dear, it was the same boring cheap pillows we got some Target and I decided to draw on them! :)
DIY Sharpie Love Pillows

All you need are some plain pillows and a sharpie!
Draw on pillows with a sharpie! 
I did the "Love" pillow first and first did it in pen. Not sure why, because it's not like I would have been able to erase it if it didn't go well, I would have to trace over it with the sharpie anyway. So don't bother with that step!! However, if you have pillows like mine, like mirco-fiberish, then they leave little lines when you touch it, so you can test it out with the closed sharpie cap first and then go for it.

Don't you just love them? I do! They make me happy. So much cuter than they were before.

What would you do with a sharpie and a pillow?

  4. They turned out great ... Hopefully there is something you can treat it with so it doesn't fade over time with washing!

  10. They do look great! I've been wanting to try some permanent marker crafts for a while, but just haven't taken the plunge. This is a great project to start with!
