Galactic Christmas baubles

Decorate Christmas ornaments with a space motif

These striking baubles will not only impress your Christmas guests and all fans of outer space, they’ll also bring fun and excitement in the run-up to Christmas. If you’re a space enthusiast, you may find these galactic designs just the thing for your Christmas tree. With edding gloss paint markers, you can decorate Christmas baubles with ease in next to no time. Their paint-like, opaque ink is quick-drying and leaves a glossy finish. We’ve recently introduced new soft pastel colours to our range, and they show up brilliantly on dark backgrounds. That’s why we opted for black baubles which we embellished with rockets, stars, space ships and mini astronauts. All the motifs shown here are available for download as a template.

Step-by-step

Step 1

In our example, we used edding gloss paint markers in pastel rose (colour code 138), pastel blue (139), pastel green (137) and pastel yellow (135). Simply download our templates featuring fun space motifs from our website.

Step 2

Before you start decorating, follow these instructions to activate the edding gloss paint marker: Shake the marker vigorously with the cap on, then remove the cap, place the nib on absorbent paper and pump it up and down gently a few times until ink appears in the nib. (And don’t forget to always store the marker horizontally after use.) Now you’re ready to go!

Step 3

Star shapes are really easy to draw, and our other space images are also a doddle to copy. You may find it helpful to practise your drawings on paper first.
