So, follow the guide, let’s go!

 

For this tutorial, you will need:

  • A sheet of card

  • A pair of scissors

  • A ruler

 

1st step: The materials

Whether it’s for colouring, writing or drawing, the EMOTT felt-tip pens are the new stars of our colourful tutorials!

So choose your favourite colours from the 40 shades available and grab your sheet of card, scissors a ruler and a Shalaku S mechanical pencil (which has a built-in rubber!)

2nd step: Outline your card

First, using your ruler and the Shalaku S mechanical pencil, trace the outline of your card on the sheet of card. We’ve chosen 10x15cm dimensions so it will fit easily into an envelope!

3rd step: Cutting

It couldn't be simpler: cut out your card, carefully, following your previously drawn lines.

4th step: Time to draw

Whether you’re an illustrator in the making or an artist at heart, this pattern can be created by anyone, regardless of their level: candy canes!

Draw these Christmas treats at random with different colours, making sure you leave enough space in the centre of the card.

5th step: A bit of filling in

Taking the colours of each candy cane, start filling them out by colouring every other stripe! The sweets are taking shape!

6th step: Ribbon and calligraphy

To add the final touch and link all the candy canes, draw a ribbon going across the entire card using the Shalaku S mechanical pencil.

In the middle of the card, in your most beautiful calligraphy, write “Merry Christmas” or the message of your choice, still linked to a ribbon.

Finally, go over all of this with an EMOTT felt-tip pen, avoiding the candy canes and rub out the pencil!
