Step-by-step
Step 1
Choose a design or wording and create a paper template (if you prefer) or work free-hand. Place the carbon paper on the box and trace the outline of your design.
Step 2
You will then see the faint lines on the box and will be able to trace and colour in the letters or pattern with your textile markers. After leaving your boxes to dry for a short while, they’ll be ready to use! You don’t need to fix the colours with your iron, as you won’t be washing the boxes.
