Decorating oven gloves

Think up a lovely pattern to spice up your oven gloves

Boring, monotone oven gloves are so yesterday. Creativity and personal taste should always have a place in the kitchen – and not just when cooking!. With the textile markers from edding, you can spice up your oven gloves with your own cool designs. In our example, we chose a pre-stitched pair of checked oven gloves and turned the individual diamonds into little fish, each one having a unique black and white pattern. You could also create a multi-coloured shoal of fish – you can choose from a range of 20 colours in two stroke widths, including neon colours for a particularly vibrant effect. The edding textile markers and textile pens are perfect for use on all light-coloured fabrics, including cotton, silk and linen. What’s more, the sets are ideal for beginners and advanced crafters alike: each of the new sets – blues/greens, reds and assorted base colours – contains five perfectly colour-coordinated shades. After you’ve finished your design, iron the oven gloves using the no-steam setting. Your design will then withstand washes of up to 60°C.

Step-by-step

Step 1

We recommend that you start by washing the finish from the oven gloves and leaving them to dry. Use the thin-tipped edding 4600 textile pen in black to draw an outline around the diamonds you want to decorate.

Step 2

Next, colour in the fish with different colours and patterns using the thicker edding 4500 textile markers. Whether you add stripes, polka dots or diamonds, simply do what you like best! Important: don’t forget to add tail fins, eyes and mouths. Once you’re done colouring in, fix your design by ironing it using the no-steam setting. Your oven gloves will then be able to withstand washes of up to 60°C!
