DIY Aisle Runner

Which is better to use sharpie or paint?

I used color sharpies. It was really easy to use and not messy at all. It took about 3 hours. The aisle runner is paper so sometimes the sharpie gets hung up on it. You know the fuzz that comes off the paper? I didn't bother with paint because I was afraid it might bleed onto my train.
I suggest that you make your text with big, bold strokes. I didn't realize how small my lines where until the runner was lay out on the aisle. It was hardly noticeable compared to the size of the room.


This is the other part of the runner. I used a gold and red sharpie.

I tried both the sharpie and acrylic paint. The paint was way better. The sharpie ripped the fabric to shreds.

I used the sharpies too and had the same fuzzing issues. It still came out looking good in the end
