After many hours of sawing at the edges of my markers with various sharp objects, and obviously having an idle mind, I began thinking of alternate methods of personalizing them that weren't quite so hard on the kitchen implements.
So I gave one to the dog to see if she would chew it nicely. (This may have been after a beer.) She gave it a halfhearted chew, spit it out, and informed me in the subtle way that dogs have that I should do it myself and get her a proper chew toy.
The one day, hanging out in the dive shop, I said "Hey! Maybe I should glue rhinestones to the markers! You could feel them by touch, and they would be sparkly!". This was actually meant as a joke. However, the instructors thought this was a FABULOUS idea. "Yeah! Pimp my markers!". The experiment has not, to date, been executed. But it might be....
I'm not that creative. I used a pair of tin snips to clip the edges of my cookies so they look like an "S" and the I clip on corner off my arrows. I have three slots filed into the sides of all my spools. I like the rhinestone idea
i tried that puffy paint that's sposedta be waterproof. um, yeah, it ain't.
so i burned a back point of my arrows into a bit of a glob. they're pink, so that's visible, and they have a burned glob, so that's tactile!
on reels & spools, i have some pink cave line wrapped tightly. if you do line wraps, start with wet line or it will stretch when it gets wet & fall off.

So those would be Superman markers. I think I'll try the rhinestones this weekend and post the results.

How about pink AND sparkly? Hmmm... somehow I think that might get made fun of.

So anyhow, what do you all do to your markers?
I'm totally putting pink & teal rhinestones on my markers! The macho guys I dive with will be mortified when I pull them out!
