Overall, I was happy with the outcome. Could it have been better? Yes. Should I have done a practice round before crafting this for a gift? Yes. Did my best friend, Amanda, love it? Yes, that’s what best friends are for. Would I do this again? Yes. Do I want to sharpie everything in the house? Duh.

Notes: I did not wash after decorating/cooking in the oven, so I have no idea what they will do. I have heard mixed reviews and that hand washing was the only way to go. If Amanda decides to keep them, I will ask her and update the post.

Another piece of advice: after opening up the sharpies, push down several times on a sheet of paper until the liquid begins to seep to the point.

When I took the sticker off, some of the sharpie liquid had seeped under. So, I had to get a q-tip with nail polish remover on it to remove the sharpie in unwanted places.

EXTRA: I saw several different designs on Pinterest and google. Get creative and take a chance.
