Step-by-step
Step 1
We created our designs using edding 550 permanent markers with a thick round tip. Just choose your favourite colours! Our handy templates are also available for you to print out, but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can simply create your own.
Step 2
Place the template inside the box so you can easily see the design. Next, secure the template using a strip of adhesive tape.
Step 3
Now simply transfer the motif onto your box using a permanent marker.
Step 4
And there you have it – one storage box ready for your Christmas baubles!
Step 5
You can then repeat the same steps to design any other storage boxes you need.
