As Valentine’s Day nears, we all start seeing more hearts, red+pink and love wafting through the air. So, I decided why not create a simple Valentine’s Day Cookie Dish with the sharpie technique that is all the craze, to keep with the love themed holiday.
Please note – The sharpie colors may change slightly after the baking process.

How to DIY with Sharpie Markers
To craft and DIY with Sharpies, you first need a plan. I spent some time sketching out ideas and landed on a geometric patchwork looking heart.
Using the very lightest pink marker, I drew out the boundary lines for each of the colors I planned to use. Once, I had finished stippling all the colors, I was able to “erase” the light pink color using a q-tip and rubbing alcohol.
Once your designs have been drawn on with Sharpie Markers, it’s time to bake them on!
As I had done previously on my Sharpie Mugs, put your dish in the oven before turning it on.
Then, set your oven to 450’F. Once the oven reaches that temperature, set the timer for thirty minutes to bake.
Once the timer goes off, turn off oven and leave the dish inside as the temperature SLOWLY cools down. This will have prevent sudden temperature changes that can result in your dish cracking.
NOTE – As mentioned above, all the soft colorful pinks I used on this project turned shades of yellow after baking. The fun mint color turned a bit more teal and the red turned fuchsia. SO, be aware of the colors you choose when making this project.
Regardless of the color changes, I really love how this dish came out. Plus, with a few sprinkles and a delicious cookie… any dish looks better!
