Clever: Sharpies

How about this for DIY, use what you have, big bang for cheap decorating?  The utilitarian Sharpie used to create wallpaper!!!  Talk about high impact, check out these immensely creative, clever walls....

This is probably my favorite, a hand drawn and painted knock off of a Schumacher wallpaper...

Talk about inspiring and inexpensive, at 8.29 for a package of 12 Sharpies at Office Depot, a good idea (don't worry if you are not an artist, think stencils or projecting an image with an overhead) and a bit of your time, this could be the least expensive wallpaper you will ever install.  And truly, if you tire of it, there will not be the arduous task of removal, simply paint over it.  You'll feel little guilt in changing things up, so get those creative juices flowing and go for it! While you are at it, don't let the walls be your only canvas, fabrics, containers, furniture, the sky's the limit.

What decorating project have you used your Sharpies on?  I would love to see and hear all about it!

That would be such a great project! The results are beautiful. I really like the rooms where they've filled in a few of the shapes with paint.

I LOVE these! So budget friendly! I should force my boyfriend to do something for me...he's an artist!
