Sakura Solid Marker Hack

Remember when I posted that video about the Sakura Solid Markers several months ago?  Recently, someone posted the following comment on that video on YouTube:

Often used as a Graffiti marker, you can split the marker in half and put two colors together.. The color patterns are very eye attracting.

Well, I absolutely had to try it out for myself!

I chose two colors I thought would work well together.

I turned the knob at the bottom of the Solid Marker to extend the inside as far as possible and then broke it off.  I repeated this for both markers.

I cleaned off the little bit at the top of the barrel and then rolled the pusher-thing inside back to the bottom.

I used a box cutter to cut both colors in half.

And then I matched the halves together and pushed the new two-tone markers back into the empty barrels.

And now my new two-tone markers were ready to use!

I also tried it out in my art journal, adding a quick two-tone circle to the center of the page.

I love my new two-tone markers.  Time to start cutting all the colors in half and making all kinds of fun mixes!  I hope you'll give it a try too!

Thanks for stopping by!
