Design your own cool cactus t-shirt

Decorate your t-shirt and make it the highlight of your wardrobe

With our textile markers, it’s easy to become a fashion designer and jazz up boring t-shirts however you see fit. No matter what your favourite design – prickly cacti, colourful flower meadows or graphical patterns – think up a cool design or use our cactus motif to get started. Even if you’ve never decorated your own clothes before, you’ll find it incredibly easy to create your own cactus t-shirt with edding’s textile markers and textile pens. You can choose from a range of 20 colours in two stroke widths, including neon colours for a particularly vibrant effect. What’s more, the sets are ideal for beginners and advanced crafters alike: each of the new sets – blues and greens, reds or assorted base colours– contains five perfectly colour-coordinated shades. After you’ve finished your design, iron the t-shirt using the no-steam setting. Your design will then withstand washes of up to 60°C.

Paso a paso

Paso 1

Cut out the breast pocket from your piece of fabric, making sure you leave a little extra material to fold over. We recommend that you create a cardboard template for the cactus design and make sure you have all the materials you need before starting.

Paso 2

After placing the cardboard under your fabric, place the cactus template on top of the fabric and draw around it with the textile marker in pale green. If you want, you can also create a free-hand design.

Paso 3

Use the textile marker to draw and colour in your design.

Paso 4

Once you’ve finished the first cactus, draw the outline of a second cactus slightly overlapping the first using the green textile pen. The outline will look like the shadow of the first cactus.

Paso 5

Using a ruler and the textile pen in green, draw vertical lines in the overlapping area of the two cacti. Finally, add several small pink flowers and colour them in.

Paso 6

To fix your design, iron it using the no-steam setting. Your designer piece will now withstand washes of up to 60°C! Sew or glue the breast pocket to the t-shirt.
