I wanted to add something to our stairs, but didn’t want to do anything that would require a lot of money and time. I decided I wanted to Shiplap them, but instead of using MDF or wood, I decided to use a sharpie! I need a tape measure, sharpie, and a tool to trace straight lines. I started at the top of my stairs and measure them. They were 40 inches wide, so I found the center at 20 inches from each side and made the first line. I used pencil to make the lines because I sharpied it. Once I got all the pencil marks, I would go over it with sharpie! I love how it turned out!

Here’s the process

This is so easy to do but so effective! I've seen a lot of Sharpie Shiplap projects lately so I knew I had to try it out. I think it's really made a difference to our stairs and just adds the extra touch that it needed. I really love how it turned out.
