Step-by-step

Step 1
Before you start decorating, follow our instructions on how to activate the edding gloss paint marker. We recommend that you practise your chosen motifs on a sheet of paper beforehand. There’s no need to make them complex, since even plain white spots look great on a dark background. A white bauble, on the other hand, is easy to decorate with basic Christmas trees or Christmas greetings. The ideal pen for this task is the edding 751 gloss paint marker which has a stroke width of 1-2 mm.

Step 2
If you prefer very fine or delicate designs, then go for the edding 780 gloss paint marker which gives the best results for fine hand lettering and detailed motifs due to its extremely fine nib. We used hand lettering to write “Let it snow” on this pink bauble. As you can see, there’s no limit to your creativity!
