Many graffiti art lovers dream of drawing with a special graffiti marker, but not everyone has the ability and desire to buy it. In fact, following simple guidelines, you can make such a marker yourself at home without any significant cost. Let's take a look at the process of creating a graffiti marker from scrap materials using several examples.
Instructions
Step 1
Take an EMPTY Roll-On Deodorant Tube. Remove the ball and fill the tube with a mixture of colored mascara and flour or ground chalk. After that, the ball can be put in place, or replaced with a piece of thick felt.
Step 2
Use a shoe polish tube with a foam sponge tip. Wash the inside of the tube thoroughly. Buy a thick colored paint from a paint and varnish or art supply store, add a little thinner to it and pour it inside the tube. You can fill any other oblong container with a foam rubber applicator with the same paint, or you can make an applicator yourself from a piece of felt or dense foam rubber.
Step 3
The convenient base for the marker is a stationery glue stick, from which all the contents have been extracted. Fill the inside of the pencil with cotton wool and soak abundantly with ink so that the cotton is completely absorbed. Cut out a cork of a suitable size and diameter from the felt, moisten it also in ink and insert it into the hole of the pencil.
Step 4
Take a used plastic bottle of eye or nasal drops, cut off the top and insert the sponge firmly into it. It should fill the bottle and rise above the cut hole. Saturate the sponge with ink and you can paint.
Step 5
You can also make a graffiti marker from an ordinary permanent marker. Buy a thick enough permanent marker from your stationery and cut off the top tip with a fountain pen. Pour ink and some rubbing alcohol into the marker. Insert a long enough square piece of sponge or felt into the top so that it fills the entire length of the marker and remains on the surface as a nib.
