Step-by-step

Step 1
We recommend that you use our edding 751 gloss paint marker in gold and white. However, you can choose from up to 22 different colours depending on the pen type, all of which offer opaque coverage suitable for both light and dark-coloured paper.

Step 2
Before you start designing, you need to activate your edding gloss paint marker. Shake the marker vigorously with the cap on. Then remove the cap and pump the pen a few times on absorbent paper until ink appears in the tip. Now you can get started! In this example, we’ve covered the entire sheet of paper with “Merry Christmas”. Once you’re done with the marker, replace the cap firmly and store it horizontally.

Step 3
You can use the same method to create all kinds of designs and patterns. An idea we think is particularly lovely is using Christmas carol lyrics.

Step 4
To decorate your paper with a word search, use the white gloss paint marker to write out letters in a narrowly spaced grid. Don’t forget to include “Merry Christmas” or other festive words! You can then circle these words and phrases using the gold marker.
