Water’s good for you!

Don’t forget to drink on hot days

Now the days are getting warmer, it’s really important to drink plenty. As everyone knows, when temperatures rise we need to boost our fluid intake. An attractive chart in your journal can be a helpful way of ensuring you don’t forget to grab a glass of water amidst the day-to-day stresses. You can use it to record how much you’ve drunk, using different colours for each day. In this idea, we show you how easy it is to come up with a design with a water-colour effect.

Step-by-step

Step 1

For this journal idea you’ll need the edding Colour Happy Box, specifically the edding 1800 in black, plus colour pens in the colours of your choice to create your design. We’ve got a template available for you to download, print and cut out.

Step 2

If the pages of your journal are fairly thin, you can simply place the template under your chosen page and trace it into your journal using a pencil. You can then go back over all the motifs and words using the black profipen or the slightly broader edding 1300 colour pen.

Step 3

The gel roller in the Colour Happy Box is available in a range of shades, including lovely metallic colours that allow you to draw the water in the bottle in a way that almost looks real.
