Decorate crafting boxes

Stylish boxes to jazz up your home

These boxes are far too beautiful to be kept in the cupboard! You can decorate fabric boxes and use them in a variety of ways. Whether you like to paint, knit or sew, over time you’re bound to accumulate lots of materials that need to be properly organised and stored. Sturdy fabric boxes are a very practical way of keeping things tidy – and you can decorate them in whatever way you like with edding textile markers. Think up a suitable pattern or give hand lettering a try: ‘sewing’, ‘knitting’ and ‘drawing’ will tell you at a glance where to find your colouring pencils, sewing threads and knitting needles. The textile markers and textile pens from edding are perfect for use on all light-coloured fabrics. You can choose from a range of 20 colours in two stroke widths, enabling even beginners to achieve beautiful results with ease.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Choose a design or wording and create a paper template (if you prefer) or work free-hand. Place the carbon paper on the box and trace the outline of your design.

Step 2

You will then see the faint lines on the box and will be able to trace and colour in the letters or pattern with your textile markers. After leaving your boxes to dry for a short while, they’ll be ready to use! You don’t need to fix the colours with your iron, as you won’t be washing the boxes.
