Step-by-step

Step 1
Start by wrapping the presents in the kraft paper. Next, draw decorative bows on the packages using a calligraphy marker in the colour of your choice – this could be carmine red or bottle green. The broad, flexible calligraphy nib produces a bold stroke so your bows will be “tied to perfection”.

Step 2
To add the finishing touches, you can draw stars and name tags, or attach small sprigs of pine. To draw fine strokes, hold the nib vertically.
