Step-by-step

Step 1
Insert the cardboard into the bag to prevent ink bleeding through.

Step 2
Arrange your designs over the bag. You can trace lightly in pencil first, or you may prefer to use the number stencils.

Step 3
Add the outlines with the edding textile pen.

Step 4
Colour in your designs using the edding textile marker.

Step 5
When everything is ready, iron the fabric bags without steam.

Step 6
Your designs will now withstand wash cycles of up to 60°C.
