Step-by-step
Step 1
You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo. We chose a white edding 4095 chalk marker for our board.
Step 2
Think up with a motif or a quote for your welcome sign and sketch it out lightly in pencil first. The pencil lines won’t be visible afterwards.
Step 3
Before you start your design, 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 the marker up and down gently a few times until ink appears in the nib. Now you’re ready to get started. (And after use, always replace the cap securely and store the marker horizontally.)
Step 4
Use the activated chalk marker to trace over all the lines. To give your design real expression, emphasise individual strokes, or give it extra character by adding small motifs.
Step 5
If your motif doesn’t work out first time, or you make a mistake, you can simply wipe it off with a damp cloth and make corrections.
Step 6
When the design is ready, set up your wedding chalkboard sign on an easel in a suitable location.
