DIY travel bag

The ideal bag for any traveller

This fabric bag has just what it takes to become a firm favourite of any traveller, whether as a travel backpack or a laundry bag. We simply used edding textile markers to write the word “travel” and its definition in calligraphy style. Whenever you’re out and about, don’t forget to take your backpack with you – with its cool motif, it’s a smart travel accessory you can’t afford to do without! The design part is not at all tricky, since edding textile markers and pens make writing and drawing so easy that even novices can quickly achieve great results. Just print out our motif and use it as your template ‒ easy! edding textile products are ideal for all manner of light-coloured fabrics, including cotton and linen. There are two stroke widths and a range of 20 colours to choose from, including neon shades for a particularly vibrant effect. When you’ve finished decorating, iron your bag and it will then be able to withstand wash cycles of up to 60°C – ready for your next adventure!

Step-by-step

Step 1

First, wash the bag to remove any finishing agents in the fabric and leave to dry. Print out our “travel” template and get all your other materials ready. You’ll need the edding 4600 textile pen and the 4500 textile marker in black.

Step 2

Cut out a piece of cardboard the same size as the bag and place it inside. This helps to prevent the ink bleeding through to the back of the bag. Position the template inside the bag on top of the cardboard so the wording shows through clearly. Alternatively, you can make a light pencil sketch of the wording.

Step 3

For going over and colouring in the word “travel”, the thicker edding 4500 textile marker in black is the best choice. For the rest of the lettering, use the fine-nibbed edding 4600 textile pen.
