Step-by-step

Step 1
For our example we used edding gloss paint markers in pastel rose (colour code 138), pastel blue (139) and pastel yellow (135). On our website you’ll find templates with fun space motifs for easy download.

Step 2
Before using a gloss paint marker, you need to activate it: Shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on. Remove the cap, place the nib on absorbent paper and pump it up and down a few times until ink appears in the nib. Now you’re ready to get started. (And don’t forget to always store the marker horizontally after use.)

Step 3
Use the gloss paint markers to decorate in your own style – with stars, space ships or UFOs. Our space-themed template has lots of galactic symbols that you can trace over. If you want to use several colours, always let one colour dry briefly before continuing with the next.

Step 4
You can use pastel colours with any other fun space design of your choice, of course – just use your imagination!
