I watched a couple of tutorials today on YouTube where they were using Shapie markers to draw with instead of gel pens.
Both ladies had a Cricut Sharpie housing that was a metallic pink color. Does anyone know where to find these?
I have searched on Ebay and Amazon with no luck after looking here on the Cricut site.

Unless it's brand new, Cricut doesn't have a sharpie holder. PC makes their own markers for the Cricut.
There are 3rd party companies that make pen/marker holders.

The Cricut markers work great.
The "other" holder that uses sharpies says it works best on glossy paper.
Sharpies would be more likely to bleed on regualr cardstock or paper.

Well, I found them after searching on Pinterest. A lady named Amy Chomas sells them here on her site: http://amychomas.blogspot.com/

On a different board, someone had pictures of the gel-type pencil grips around mini sharpies. Said she got them for $2 for a pack at Walmart or Big Lots.

Hi Monique! That is me!  I was wondering why I had a bunch of marker holders selling! For those with the Expression 2 I also offer an adjustable marker holder that will fit any length marker and an adjustable pen holder for any length pen. There is a lip over the regular Expression that stops you from being able to use any marker over 3 1/2 inch. And I have a mini gel pen holder as well for the Cricut line. I've been selling these for over 3 1/2 years now and I have a lot of information on my blog! http://amychomas.blogspot.com/

I love my mini sharpie holder! I set my pressure on low & it prevents it from bleeding & works like the Cricut markers!
