DIY gift card

Get creative with washi tape and fibre pens

Handmade cards are always much nicer than shop-bought ones – whether in the form of a gift voucher, a greetings card or an attractive accompaniment to a gift. All you need is some pretty card (or ready-made folded cards) and a selection of suitable pens. And when it comes to expressing your creativity and creating your own designs, edding 1300 colour pens are the ideal tools to have at hand. The range includes a total of 40 vibrant colours presented in stylish metal tins in a choice of sizes and colour assortments. You can add decorative touches to your cards by using strips of brightly patterned washi tape to beautifully complement the colours of your words and illustrations. And remember: these colour pens in their attractive metal boxes make a fabulous gift for anyone - young or old - who loves colouring or crafting.

Step-by-step

Step 1

You can see all the materials at a glance in our photo. You’ll need a set of edding 1300 colour pens in a metal tin of 20.

Step 2

First, download the template and print it out. Place it inside the blank card so that the design shows through. Now use an edding 1300 to trace over the words and pictures to your heart’s content before colouring them however you wish. The range of colours should offer everything you need – the only limit is your imagination! Leave space between the hand-drawn elements to make room for the washi tape (see next step).
