Step-by-step

Step 1
First, you need to come up with a suitable slogan – we suggest something like “Beach Life”, “Lifeguard” or “Take a Break”, but naturally you can be as creative as you like. Before you start we recommend washing the seat cover to remove any fabric finish as this will make your decoration more permanent. Allow the seat cover to dry thoroughly. Then place it on a piece of cardboard slightly larger than the area you wish to decorate, so that nothing seeps through.

Step 2
Now write your slogan with the edding textile marker or the edding textile pen. Feel free to use our templates: simply copy them to the size you require and place them between the cardboard and the light fabric. Fix the design on the fabric by ironing it for a few minutes without steam. This will help it withstand wash cycles up to 60°C and will prevent the ink from running if the chairs are left out in the rain. Fit the seat cover back on the deckchair frame. Your chair is now finished – it's time to relax!
