Upcycling

Your bag is too boring and much too empty? Then go for it – let your creativity run wild. With YONO markers and simple geometric patterns, that can change in an instant. What are you waiting for?

Last-minute gifts are perfect with the YONO marker. Besides, the best gifts come from the heart anyway and love goes through the stomach. So get into the kitchen and fill empty jars with treats or ingredients for your favourite cookies, label them with the YONO marker and give them away.

Tetra packs also offer wonderful upcycling ideas at Christmas. With a little metallic paint, these little all-rounders can be transformed into perfect gift bags or used as festive table decorations.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star – with a little craft paint, wood glue and glitter magic, simple wooden sticks become cute stars. Great creative fun for all little crafting friends at Christmas time.

These chalky-chic glasses will add plenty of colour to any party! What makes this design so special is the stylish colour transition – created by stippling two pastel Marabu Chalky-Chic chalk paints – which contrasts perfectly with the sparkling drink inside. 

Every year we look forward to cosy jumpers with a Christmas look. This year it may be the cute reindeer motif for the little Christmas angels. A simple jumper can be transformed into a Christmas jumper with the help of textile paints!

Especially on dark evenings or grey days, candlelight helps to easily create a warm, cosy atmosphere at home. And if you don’t have any candle holders at hand, simply make some out of plain glass bottles: painted with the YONO marker and effectively filled with grasses and water.

With a few simple steps, an old vase or a simple glass jar can be transformed into a small designer piece. First glue them with half-pearls and then paint them in great colours. It’s so easy and looks great even without flowers.

These coasters with maritime motifs are very practical for cool summer drinks. Especially effective designed with Marabu Alcohol Ink and the Marabu YONO Marker. It’s a great place to put your drink down and linger a while!

Toilet paper rolls are a fantastic material to use when making Easter crafts with children. Simply prepare a colourful paint bath with Marabu finger paint, feel and experience the colour on your fingers, roll through toilet paper rolls and admire the colourful Easter bunny.

Empty food tins don’t have to go in the bin – with a few simple steps they can be turned into magical Easter nests. Marbled with the easy marble neon colours, they are even easier to find during the Easter hunt!

Upcycling is so decorative: instead of a gift bag or Easter basket, simply wrap the empty egg carton with a pretty banderole and promote it to gift wrapping.
