I must confess, I've often passed by the fabric markers in the craft store thinking they were for kiddos. But one day I decided to give them a chance and picked up a pack. I'm so glad I did! These markers are really fun to work with and the best part is, after 24 hours of dry time they are permanent and machine washable!1. Supplies Needed: Fabric Markers (I used a medium tip), Tape and a cloth surface (I used a fabric covered journal) 2. Tape a geometric shape on your surface. You can do sometime simple, like I did, or something more personal like a monogram. 3. Fill the inside of your shape with lines. I used a cross hatching technique and kept my spacing pretty consistent, but not perfect. 4. Remove tape to reveal beautiful clean lines! I love how to clean lines contrast with the imperfect hand drawings! Now, I can't wait to use this technique on a larger surface! xoxo. Elsie

Love the hand-drawn aspect mixed with clean, crisp lines. Oh the projects that this could be used on 🙂

This is a great idea with endless possibilties, particularly if you cut your own stencils.
So, is this the type of markers that can write on white shoes, because I’ve been wanting to do that.
I will definitely be trying this! Such a nice way to personalise books and stationary!

This is such a rad idea; my daughter just got a ton of fabric markers for her birthday, so I think we’ll have to incorporate this idea into our clothing art!
great idea!

Love kids craft items being used for grown up things!
Such a great idea!
http://www.shinypigeon.wordpress.com
This is such a great idea! I have plenty of fabric markers (in particular a set of sharpie-fabric markers) but am often at a loss as to how to make them work for more ‘grown-up’ projects. This is perfect! I’m curious as to how this would work on a plain jersey knit…if it would come out as crisp and clean around the edges? Maybe with the help of some ironed-on freezer paper. MUST try! Thank you!
Wow I love this look.
I have heaps of boring journals as well, so this is bound to pretty them up!

I’m so going to try this. It’s too incredibly cute! I love all you DIY projects so much! http://totallycreativeness.blogger.com
