LOVE“ garland

Love is in the air! With this garland, I’ll show you how to make these words a reality! At first glance this project might seem quite difficult, but each individual step is a lot of fun! One more tip before you get started: You don’t have to make circular pendants – squares, hearts, little flags... the possibilities are almost endless. And not just for Valentine’s Day!

Instructions

1. Get your large piece of watercolor or thick paper and a transparent sheet ready. 2. Now use the STABILO Pen 68 brush in various red and blush shades to draw areas of color on the transparent sheet and add some water using the paintbrush. 3. Now press the transparent sheet onto the paper (a few times in a row if you wish) to create a varied and “wild” colored background. Repeat a few times until you have enough colored background and then let everything dry well. 4. Use the compass to draw circles on the watercolor background (one for each letter), ensuring they are all the same size. Choose the areas you use for the circles at will – some with more color, some with less – then cut them out. 5. Now do a preliminary pencil drawing of the letters and then do the major work in black (or any other high-contrast color). 6. Attach the finished pendants to the cord e.g. using small clothes pegs.
