Valentine’s greetings

Simply write your message on a mirror

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, you may be in search of a novel idea to surprise your loved one. Hopefully, we’ve got just what you’re looking for right here: it costs next to nothing, produces zero waste and is super-easy to do, even at the last minute. Using edding chalk markers, simply write your Valentine’s message on a mirror. It needs to be immediately eye-catching, so ideally it should hang somewhere prominent, such as in the middle of a hallway or in the bathroom. The practical side to this is that the ink is very easy to remove. So, if you make a mistake or when Valentine’s Day is over, no problem – simply wipe it off with a damp cloth! edding chalk markers are filled with liquid chalk that’s specially formulated for drawing on smooth, glossy surfaces such as glass and mirrors. Choose between the fine-nibbed edding 4095 chalk marker and the edding 4090 with its extra-broad nib. There are 10 opaque colours available, including white and a selection of vivid neon shades.

Step-by-step

Step 1

First of all, you need to decide on a motif or a loving sentiment. Before you start, activate the edding chalk marker as follows: shake the marker vigorously with the cap on, then remove the cap, place the nib on absorbent paper and pump it up and down gently a few times until ink appears in the nib. Now you’re good to go. (And don’t forget to always store the marker horizontally after use.)
