Step-by-step

Step 1
Make sure you have all your materials ready before you start. You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo, including the edding 1200 colour pen in the colour honeydew melon. Start by printing out your chosen template. You may need to enlarge or reduce the image to suit the size of your pad.

Step 2
Now use the fibre pen in pastel yellow to colour in the motifs in your own style. The edding 1200 is ideal for colouring, as its fine nib can handle even the finest of details with total ease. When you’ve filled them all in, cut out the banana shapes.

Step 3
Finally, glue a piece of light blue paper to the cover of your notepad and finish off with a scattering of colourful bananas. Your personalised pad is now finished, all set to brighten up your day.
