I have been having so much fun adding more crafting to my life.
I don’t consider myself a crafty person. I lack talent and patience for most craft projects, but I still keep a list of crafts I want to do. It’s totally contradictory for me to dream of doing crafts when I know it’s not a talent I was born with… but a girl can dream right?
Knowing I can’t do full on craft projects doesn’t stop me from still having some crafting fun!
That’s why I was so excited about BIC’s Month of Merry Marking. They created an inspirational booklet full of ideas for those of us looking to add a little crafty fun to our lives and those that are crafting pros!
BIC is encouraging us to keep writing and creating this season with awesome products like BIC Mark-It™ permanent markers and BIC’s Month of Merry Marking!
I loved seeing all the ideas for crafting projects using BIC Mark-It™ and I picked two really fun and easy projects to share with you all today! We are going to be adding some extra sparkle to gift tags and we are also going to make gifting our favorite books even more special with a handwritten note inside!
I even have a video showing how to make them both!
I had a great time using #TikiHutTan to personalize the books I am going to gift!
I just bought my favorite books, opened them up and wrote a little note inside! BIC Mark-It™ permanent markers made it easy to really make this gift even better!
I used the permanent markers that offer 44 vibrant, long lasting colors for endless inspiration!
The bold, fade-resistant ink is low odor (this is a HUGE deal to me) and acid free (no added acid and no measurable pH) so you don’t need to worry and they are totally family friendly too! You can find BIC Mark-It™ permanent markers available in 36 packs of fine or ultra-fine bold, vibrant colors or the 8 pack of metallic colors. These give you tons of inspiration to spread some joy!
I nominate my friends Sarah, Kate and Avi to get in on the fun and download the coupon and make a craft of their own!
Be sure to head on over to the BIC Mark-It™ Facebook page to get the booklet of merry marking and a coupon to start marking!
I haven’t tried using the metalic markers yet, but my grandkids use them. One of these days, I will get back in to doing crafts.
I would use these on notes/cards to pretty them up. I love the gold!
I love Bic markers! I have them all over the house. I just worry about my son and the permanent ones, but I use them all the time!
What a great gift idea! And those BIC markers look awesome… especially the metallic ones. Are they pretty comparable to Sharpies?
These markers are perfect for making homemade gift tags and cards throughout the year. I need to get some of these, like NOW!
Oh, how I love Bic! They have the best pens and markers for scrapbooking, I think!
These sound like great markers. I need to go get some for all the gift tags I need to make.
I use these markers for almost everything! From marking the lids of water bottles to coloring the toes of shoes I am going to embellish.
What lovely craft ideas to personalize gifts. I love those BIC markers, I have that pack.
Oh I love the idea of gifting books with special notes inside! That is very neat to do. I also love your gift tags, so festive!
These look like some fabulous markers…so fun to doodle with, too!
You have got to love a good bic, always there when you need them and who doesn’t love crafting.
I love those sparkle pens! I’ll have to pick me up a package!
I love these. Perfect colors. Will check out the booklet.
I have so many of the BIC Mark-It Markers. They’re the best, and I use them for my calendar as well.
Finally, a marker that isn’t stinky! You sold me right there!
These markers are great and so colorful. I have seen people decorate ornament ( balls) with them and make them even more festive.
These markers look really great. I’ve already got some crafty ideas for these!
I like how many color options they have. I am just now getting into handmade cards, so I need to up my marker stash! These look like they would be a perfect fit for that!
These look great. I have baby books that were signed for my baby shower and not everyone picked the best pens for the notes inside.
We just bought some of the metallic ones! I can’t wait to try them out! I love bic!
I have some of those markers and I love them!
That is such a great idea. I love gifting books and this would make it so special.
I still have the books given to my boys and even me that were written in by family
I get them to do art’s and crafts with my 7 year old daughter.
I serisouly need to get my hands on some of these markers. I love all the different designs and ideas!
These look super convenient and MUCH more durable than kid’s brands of sketch pens/markers.
They do look really durable and so many colors to pick from. Very vibrant!
These look like really great markers to use to personalize your gifts and decor this season. Love the idea of using them to write a personalized message in books. And good on you for still gifting books!
