In reply to Andrea. I wondered that too- if 6.5" was for space between vertical.lines as well. Can't wait to try it! Thanks for sharing!!

Hi. This is beautiful and I am planning on doing this in my nursery room very soon. Like in days! Lol. I know you said you went with the 6.5 for your measurements but I am wondering if you also went with that measurement between your verticals lines or if that distance is different? Thanks.

Hey Kelsey!
This project specifically has been painted over (you can see about 1/2 way down the post where I talk about it) the paint is so thing there isn’t any lines after (like you’d see if you used painters tape and regular wall paint) If you’re still concerned I would try it out inside a closet or somewhere that no one will really see before you do it on the wall! Send me pictures, I can’t wait to see it!!

Hi, I am super excited about doing some paint pen projects, BUT I am also a little leary. I’m most curious about water based versus oil based. You said you can paint over the oil. I am wondering if using the oil paint pen creates a lift on the wall so when you paint over it you can no longer see the color but there is still a faint visual of the design because of the oil paint sitting “on top” of the wall color. Have you tried the pen and painted over it and not repened in that same spot? This is such a new concept I am having a hard time finding post reviews about it. I have to convince my hubby that there will be no residual effects once we decide to change the wall or move or whatever. Have any insight? Thanks

In reply to Ida. Hey Ida! I use the Medium tip and for this project I think I used 5-7 pens. Hope this helps!

Hi Mandy,
I am greatful for having rambled on your page. I have been looking for the suitable wallpaper for my dining room wall, with no success. Seeing your great sharpie wall was the answer to my prayers. I simply love it!
Could you please tell me the broadness of he pen you used for the project? And how far can each pen get you? I will have to order online so it would be helpful to know the approx quantity needed.
Thanks for a great inspirational page, I will be surfing here again 🙂

In reply to Sarah. I do not know why people with children even buy Sharpies. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Or lock them up with the guns and the medicine.

Hi Mandi –
I love all these sharpie walls you do! Just wondering, I recently did a wall in my sons room with the water based sharpie pen. I thought it would be wipe-able but after 24 hours I still can’t wipe it without smearing. Any recommendations? If I trace over it with the oil pen would it be washable?
Thanks!

Hello Im a bit confused between water based oil based and metallic sharpies lol can you list pros and cons of each?
and why you dont recommend using just regular Shapies.

Im going to do this is my bathroom and want to use gold. Should I use the gold paint pen or is the metallic one OK?
thanks !
