Step by step: creative designs for tea caddies

Imagine this scenario: you receive a last-minute invitation. Naturally, you’re delighted, but where can you get hold of a last-minute gift? This personalised tea caddy is just the job for tea and coffee drinkers, but it can be customised using our gloss paint markers and used for a variety of other purposes, too. Our edding gloss paint markers come in 18 fantastic shades ranging from black to white, including shimmering metallic tones. These colours work particularly well on smooth, dark or transparent surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic, and are quick-drying, highly visible and permanent.

Step-by-step

Step 1

First of all, activate the gloss paint marker. Draw a faint outline of your design in pencil, such as “No. 2” or “White Tea” as shown here. It’s a good idea to draw faint horizontal lines to help keep the design straight. Using the black gloss paint marker, go over the outline of the numbers and letters before colouring them in.
