Sharpie Bottle Art: Fun and Stylish Ways to Decorate Bottles

๐งฐ Materials You’ll Need
• Clean glass bottles or jars (wine, soda, water, etc.)

• Paintbrushes
• Black permanent markers or Sharpies
• Acrylic spray sealant (optional)
• Fine grit sandpaper
๐️ Step-by-Step Guide to Decorating Bottles with Sharpies
1. Clean and Prep the Bottle
Wash the bottle thoroughly with soap and water. Remove all labels and glue residue. For stubborn spots, use rubbing alcohol to eliminate grease or dirt.
2. Sand the Surface
Lightly sand the bottle with fine grit sandpaper to help the acrylic paint stick better—especially important for smooth glass surfaces.
3. Apply Acrylic Paint
Choose your paint color and apply an even coat with a brush. Let it dry completely between coats. Use multiple colors if desired, allowing each to dry before layering.
4. Create Your Design with Sharpies
Once the paint is dry, use permanent markers to draw patterns, doodles, or illustrations. Popular ideas include:
• Geometric shapes
• Floral designs
• Mandalas
• Abstract art
Tips for beginners:
• Test your design on paper first.
• Start with simple lines and build confidence.
• Use colored Sharpies to add vibrancy and depth.
5. Seal Your Artwork (Optional)
To protect your design and enhance durability, spray a coat of acrylic sealant. This keeps colors vivid and prevents fading. Always apply in a well-ventilated area.
