Step-by-step
Step 1
To design the signs, you’ll need a classic edding 3000 in black. However, there are many other bright colours available, so pick whichever you like! Print out the template and cut the card into suitably-sized pieces.
Step 2
The best way to transfer the motif is to use carbon paper by placing it between the card sign and the template. Using a pencil or ball-point pen, transfer the motif. Next, go over it using the edding 3000.
Step 3
Transfer the other symbols mentioned in Step 2 as required. For items that are particularly precious to you, there’s even a symbol featuring two hands that form a heart shape.
Step 4
Finally, stick the cards on the boxes in a place where they’ll be easily seen.
