Step-by-step
Step 1
To design your card index box, you’ll need the edding 1200 colour pens and edding mini highlighters in pastel and neon colours. We’ve got all the templates you’ll require – you simply need to do download them, print them off and cut them out.
Step 2
This photo shows you the three sections for the outer faces of the box.
Step 3
Now reach for a mini highlighter and draw a rainbow in your own style.
Step 4
Next, use the edding 1200 colour pens to colour in all the other detailed motifs. These pens come with a fine tip which makes them really good for precise colouring. The large set of 20 offers an amazing selection of colours, so it won’t be hard to find your favourites!
Step 5
Once you’ve coloured everything in, you’re ready to glue the paper strips onto the box.
Step 6
For dividing the index cards into different subjects, we also provide you with English, Maths and Chemistry templates as an example. Simply print them out (you can find the download link in the section "Other materials") and use the fibre pens to colour them in however you wish, before gluing them onto thick card.
