Step-by-step
Step 1
First, cut a strip of translucent paper to make a band large enough to go round the candle holder. To get the design just right you may wish to practise writing with the marker beforehand.
Step 2
Using the edding calligraphy marker, draw some bold flower shapes on the paper. The ultra-flexible nib of the marker makes designs really easy to apply and also makes lettering look really expressive. The ink is permanent, fast-drying and works well on either rough or smooth surfaces. Glue the finished band around the candle holder.
