Love this! And another good backing for the foil is foam core board. I cut the board into smaller rectangles, cover with foil and tape it down on the back down with clear tape. We used poster paint, but I can’t wait to try the permanent markers. I have a lot!

This is such a great idea thank you for the post. I always have a ton of sharpies in my office and who doesn’t have foil? An easy project with items we use everyday.

Hi Jackie,
I enjoy your crafting blog and I will use this project in my after-school program. I wanted to share another fun sharpie-tinfoil project which was done for special occasions in my grade school growing up: Insert a paper stencil into a sheet protector, which the children trace with black sharpie. Then color in the picture with colored sharpies. Then remove the paper from the sheet protector and replace with a piece of tin foil which has been crumpled and carefully spread out to fill the entire sheet protector and be a beautiful textured background for the sharpie art.
Hope you enjoy!
