Step-by-step

Step 1
Before you start designing, activate the silver edding 780 gloss paint marker by following the instructions. We then recommend testing out the words you want to write on a piece of paper. That way, you can decide which style you like best. First draw a border of leaves or vines around the edge of the lid. We recommend starting with a large circle and then adding the leaves to the circle.

Step 2
For the ‘a cookie a DAY’ sentiment, use the silver edding 751 gloss paint marker (be sure to activate it before use). Use delicate dots and strokes to highlight and accentuate individual letters. We wrote ‘KEEPS THE STRESS AWAY’ using the finer-tipped edding 780. Additional decorative flourishes can be added to break up the design.
