Heart-shaped box for Mother’s Day

“Mum, you are the best”

Anyone can see straight away that this present comes from the heart. The heart-shaped box has been lovingly decorated with edding gloss paint markers and can even be filled with a small gift if so desired. If you’re decorating plastic or any smooth surface, the opaque, paint-like ink of edding gloss paint markers makes them the perfect choice. They come in three stroke widths and a wide range of colours, including metallic and pastel shades.

Step-by-step

Step 1

You can see everything you need at a glance in this photo. For the design, we used edding 751 gloss paint markers in white and in pink metallic, but you can choose another colour of your choice.

Step 2

Before you start decorating, activate your gloss paint markers as follows: shake the marker firmly with the cap on. Remove the cap. Pump the marker with the nib downwards on a piece of scrap paper. Carefully pump it up and down until ink fills the nib. Now decorate the box in whatever way you choose. First, use the white marker to write the inscription. Next, leave to dry briefly before using the pink metallic marker to make the lettering stand out more, thereby achieving a 3D effect.
