Q: Can you advise me what the best marker would be to use outside. I am going to write on a sunbrella type weatherproof fabric and I don't want my writing to fade.
A: BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers can be used on just about everything including glass, metal, plastic, photos, foils, coated paper, oily and damp surfaces. However, BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers are not recommended for use on cloth. You can try fabric markers for this project which are available at any craft store.
Q: LOOKING FOR SOMETHING VERY DIFF FOR A TEENS ROOM AGE 15 TO 17 LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. P,S SOMETHING VERY NICE ABOVE THE BED, OR THERE WALL.
A: There are several craft ideas available on www.bicmarkit.com that would be great for a teen’s room! How about using BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers to decorate initials or create a custom name sign to hang over a bed? A personalized message/picture cork board would not only look great above a desk, but would be functional as well. These are some of the many ideas that you can find using BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers at www.bicmarkit.com. Have fun crafting!
Q: I have played around with just using the pens to put a design on fabric. Will it stay after washing or do I need to iron it before washing? I would like to design a quilt so I need to know. Have lots of colors!

Q: I'd like to build a large 5 point star (may be 10' diameter), cover with Christmas lights, then hang outside, above the garage door. What material would be best considering weight, angles, etc...
A: Home Improvement stores offer a lot of different materials that you can use to construct a large outdoor 5 point star. Since it will be hung outdoors and needs to be strong enough to hold Christmas lights, I would use pressure treated wood.
Q: I've heard that you can use these to blend colors, is that true? How do you blend these?
A: Due to the permanency of BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers, you will not be able to blend the colors. But with 36 bold and fashionable colors like Polynesian Purple and Margarita Green to choose from, you should be able to find the color you are looking for!
Q: I have been searching "EVERYWHERE" for a pattern to make birch tree shaving flowers(roses) , AND also where can you buy the colored birch tree shavings or do you need to color them yourself ? I would like as much information as I can get on this craft and where to purchase. I live in Indiana. Maybe a online site? anything...I cannot find any of these flowers except for ones already made and I want to make my own. Thank you so much for your time. Ms Kathy D.
A: I searched for information on making birch tree wooden flowers and could only find websites that sold these flowers already made. Although I did come across a site that sells wooden flower petals that you may want to look into. It is www.bergodesigns.com. My suggestion to you is to contact local florists or nurseries to see if they can supply the birch tree shavings. Then I would purchase an already made flower and take it apart to see how it is made.
Q: Can i use the BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers on a ceramic piggy bank that already is glazed or would i have to buy the markers that are made for ceramics? Thanks for your time
A: BIC Mark-It™ Permanent Markers decorate glass and ceramic beautifully. The colors are vibrant and plentiful with our 36 color assortment. Like all permanent markers, the mark will rub off when it comes in contact frequently with hot soapy water over time.
