Step-by-step

Step 1
You can see all the materials you need at a glance in our photo. For our design, we opted for the classic edding 3000 marker with a medium wide nib. Before you start, pick out your favourite colours. Don’t forget our brand new addition: we now offer sets of 5 markers in coordinated colours. If drawing freehand isn’t your thing, you can print out the alphabet sheet that can be found on our website and use it as a template for copying.

Step 2
Keep the letters nice and straight. It helps if you draw a few faint pencil lines (well spaced apart) on the bag to guide you.

Step 3
If you wish to make your alphabet letters look a bit more interesting, why not draw them on the line but in different sizes? If you prefer, you could make your own template on parchment or greaseproof paper or buy a suitable letter stencil. Start by drawing the outlines of the letters using the permanent marker.

Step 4
Once you’ve done that, colour them in however you want, with dots, diamonds, squares or cross-hatching – whatever takes your fancy!
