Step-by-step
Step 1
Thanks to their very fine nib, edding 780 gloss paint markers are ideal for painting delicate patterns on conkers. We used the metallic colours gold and copper, along with white.
Step 2
Before you start decorating, you need to activate the gloss paint marker as follows: shake the marker vigorously with the cap on, then remove the cap and pump the marker a few times on a piece of absorbent paper until ink appears in the nib. Now you’re ready to get started. Let your imagination run wild and decorate however you like. You can add dots, loops or other delicate graphic patterns – anything goes! After use, always replace the cap securely and store the marker horizontally.
Step 3
Metallic shades and white show up really beautifully on the dark surface of a conker. The ink is quick-drying, enabling you to decorate all the way round without smudging anything.
