Step-by-step

Step 1

Here you can see all the materials you need for this project at a glance. Choose your favourite gloss paint marker colours.

Step 2

Decide on your unique Easter design – for example, a bunny, Easter eggs or spring flowers. Alternatively, use one of our templates. First, draw your motif on a piece of paper before sticking it on the inside of your jar using adhesive tape. This will make it easy to trace the design through the glass.

Step 3

Now comes the creative part: transfer your motif onto the glass surface using the gloss paint markers. Thanks to the even application of paint, you'll be able to produce brilliant lines without any smudging. Next, leave your design to dry thoroughly.

Step 4

Design a greetings label using the calligraphy pens – for example, by adding a name, an Easter greeting or a short saying. Use sturdy paper or card to give your label a particularly high-quality look.

Step 5

Attach your label to the jar with attractive-looking wine. Finally, fill the jar with sweets, little surprises or a personal message. And there you have it: a truly special Easter gift that's guaranteed to bring joy.
