Step-by-step

Step 1
To write or draw on the clothes pegs you will need a red edding 400 and a black edding 404 permanent marker.

Step 2
Draw a pretty heart using the red permanent marker on the back of the clothes peg. Next, go round it with the black marker – your first clothes peg is ready! Use a gloss paint marker to draw the white “envelope” on the second clothes peg. After letting it dry for a short while, you can continue decorating the envelope using the permanent markers.

Step 3
On a small piece of paper, use permanent markers to write your loving message. The edding 400 and 404 have fine tips, so they’re also ideal writing implements.

Step 4
Glue your note into the opening of the clothes peg that has the envelope on it, so that you can read the words when you open the peg.
