Step-by-step
Step 1
In this photo you can see the edding pen sets which are best for making beautiful sleeve designs. Our “pencil box band” template is available on our website – simply download and print it out. Alternatively, you may prefer to design your own colouring template on paper.
Oh, and don’t forget that edding permanent sprays are the perfect choice for painting your tins in pastel colours. In our example, we’ve used light lavender (colour code 931), opulent turquoise (934) and pastel yellow (915).
Step 2
edding 1200 colour pens come with a fine tip which makes them really good for precise colouring. And the neon and pastel shades are great for creating awesome effects.
Step 3
Now it’s time to reach for the edding 1340 brushpens. They have an ultra-flexible nib, allowing you to create elaborate effects when writing and drawing.
Step 4
Just give them a try, then complete the look with a few words or a suitable slogan. Depending on how hard you press, you can make the stroke narrower or broader.
Step 5
Thanks to its amazing features, the edding brush pen has long been an essential tool for hand lettering enthusiasts. Once you’ve finished designing, cut the band of paper to the required size and glue it onto the tin.
