Tips and Tricks

DO IT Craft markers do not need to be pumped up. They are ready to use.

How it is done:

First, cut the A4-sized paper from the GREEN paper pad in half using a cutting machine or scissors. Then fold the pieces of paper again in the middle to create DIN A6-sized folding cards.
Then apply a small amount of craft paint to the wooden mixing palette and paint lines or brushstrokes on the front of the folded card using brushes of different thicknesses, making them shorter towards the top.
Use a thinner brush to paint the top of the fir tree and the trunk.
For an alternative card design, draw a lettering with a pencil and then paint stars on the folded card with a thin brush, also in different colors of Craft Paint.
Finally, the craft markers can be used to work out further details on the cards and to trace and design the lettering in color.
