Gift wrap in brilliant colours

Gleaming creations on dark and light-coloured paper

Now, you can even design your own highly effective wrapping paper using the shimmering shades of edding metallic brush pens. Simply grab some brown wrapping paper or dark-coloured gift wrap and decorate the paper in metallic colours in whatever way you wish – take off the cap, and away you go. You can choose from six vibrant colours – from gold and silver through to blue metallic, all of which look particularly effective on black or dark paper. And, if you want to throw even more colours into the creative mix, you can always blend the various shades.

Step-by-step

Step 1

The handy set of 6 contains all metallic shades. Pick out your favourite and set to work. We’ve decided on a colourful rainbow which can be painted simply by spacing them over the paper. Gold-coloured suns will ensure a beautiful overall image.

Step 2

The metallic colours are even opaque on dark paper, ensuring really vibrant effects. Once you’ve finished designing, you can then wrap up your gifts right away. The ink dries very quickly.
