(Ahrensburg, October 2003) As the cold wind rages outside, kids are busy inside doing art-and-craft, eagerly creating their own spine-chilling costumes and decorations. And here’s the give-away: Hallowe’en is just around the corner! On 31st October, countless illuminated pumpkins will once again adorn doorsteps and porches, as the cries of “Trick or Treat!” from miniature ghosts, demons and witches resound around the houses late into the night. Using the markers from edding, you can heighten the anticipation in the run-up to this exciting day and conjure up your own Hallowe’en creations at the flick of a wrist.

Whether you want to make invitations, costumes or eerie decorations, edding has a special marker for every Hallowe’en accessory.
A laughing pumpkin head or a gruesome severed hand? Whatever design you choose to adorn your Halloween party invitation card, the paint-like opaque ink of the paint marker will give it just the right shine. Should you use the traditional Hallowe’en colours of yellow, green, orange and black, or would you prefer to use the more mystical silver and gold? By using edding deco markers, you can create some amazingly ghoulish party decorations, such as ghosts and lanterns made of paper, small pumpkins or phantoms designed on terracotta pots – the marker will create the right eerie effects on any surface. With its waterproof, low-odour ink and stroke widths of 1-2 or 2-4 mm, it is suitable both for drawing outlines and for colouring in large areas.

You can create the perfect outfit using edding T-shirt markers and T-shirt pens specially developed for designing textiles. Available in 20 different colours, your imagination will know no bounds, not just on cotton, linen, silk and jute but on other fabrics besides. Both the marker and the pen contain a low-odour pigment ink  and - once the colours have been fixed with an iron – your creation can be used the following year – even after wash cycles at 60 °C.
