Step-by-step

Step 1
First, clean the window thoroughly. Before using a chalk marker, you need to activate it: Shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on, then remove the cap, place the nib on absorbent paper and pump it up and down a few times until ink appears in the nib. (And don’t forget to always store the marker horizontally after use.) Now you’re ready to get started.

Step 2
If your motifs are rather complex you’ll find it easier to use a paper template: when it’s ready, simply stick it to the back of the window, copy the motif – and you’re done! Or you can draw freehand if you prefer. If you’re not happy with your motif or you make a mistake, simply wipe the window clean with a damp cloth and have another go.

Step 3
Or you may wish to draw your own decorative and colourful window pictures. edding chalk markers are available in nine vibrant shades.
