Step-by-step
Step 1
Make sure you have all your materials to hand before you start. You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can sew the edges of the bag with needle and thread, or glue it together.
Step 2
Wash out the milk carton thoroughly and cut it open. Carefully remove the aluminium lining, taking care not to tear it. It’s a good idea to rinse the foil again at this stage. Now fold the foil sheet into a flat bag shape, with the silvery side on the inside. Sew together on three sides, leaving the top open.
Step 3
You can now use the edding 1800 fineliner to decorate the bag in your own style. You’ll find the fine pen nib ideal for delicate black patterns and fine drawings.
