Step-by-step
Step 1
The edding 4600 textile pens and 4500 textile markers each come in 20 different colours, so choose your favourites. The templates can be downloaded from our website.
Step 2
Place your chosen template inside the fabric bag so that the motif is clearly visible through the fabric. Use the black textile marker to trace the outline of the motif.
Step 3
You can now transfer all of the details onto the fabric using the textile marker, one stroke at a time.
Step 4
Next, colour in each area of the motif as the mood takes you. We’ve used the textile pen with a fine nib in pale green in our example.
Step 5
You can also create a laundry bag for storing dirty washing – in line with the principle that organisation is half the battle.
Step 6
To ensure that all of your cosmetics and bottles are close at hand, it’s really useful to have an extra bag just for these items. You’ll find suitable motifs on the template.
Step 7
Turn the bag inside out and fix the painted motif by ironing on a no-steam setting. The packing bags are then washable at up to 60°C.
