Step-by-step
Step 1
For the design, you will need edding 1200 colour pens in the colours of your choice. The handy metal box contains 20 pens and offers you a wide choice of attractive shades.
Step 2
Use a pencil to sketch the layout. To achieve a perfect circle, it can be helpful to draw round a mug or a cup in the correct size. If you want to play it safe, you can also draw the motif on a separate piece of paper before copying it.
Step 3
After you’ve finished sketching, it’s time to use the edding 1200. First, go over the edges of the waves using a coloured pen, then colour them in however you like. Choose your favourite colours.
Step 4
The waves really come to life if you add dark-blue touches to them, thereby creating even more movement.
Step 5
Finally, use the black colour pen for the word “August” and to go over the calendar – your cover for the ultimate summer month is now ready to use!
