Create your own unique gift wrap

If you want standard wrapping paper, the shops are full of it. If, however, you prefer something a little more individual, grab yourself a few edding gloss paint markers and create your own Christmas gift wrap. edding gloss paint markers come in a wide range of nib widths, meaning you’ll always find the right nib - whatever your decorative idea. These versatile markers produce excellent results, especially on dark and smooth paper.

Step-by-step

Step 1

For your designs, you’ll need edding gloss paint markers in a range of nib widths. Just pick out the colours that best suit your design idea. First, you need to activate your gloss paint markers: shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on before removing the cap. Next, prime the marker by pressing the nib up and down a few times on a piece of absorbent paper until ink appears in the nib. You can now get started.

Step 2

If you prefer, you can start by drawing your dinosaur design (or any other motif you choose) onto your sheet of plain wrapping paper using a pencil before going over the pencil lines with your activated gloss paint markers. If you’re drawing fine lines, it’s best to use the fine tip of the edding 780. To colour in the dinosaur’s hat, for example, we recommend the edding 751, which has a medium stroke width.
