Personalise a metal table with Uni Paint markers

Today, as the wonderful spring season has arrived, we’re going to personalise your garden table to brighten up your outdoor area! Our Uni Paint markers, available in several colours and three different tip sizes, will allow you to decorate all surfaces imaginable. And if the April showers fall, not to worry, the markers are resistant to bad weather but also the cold, heat and light.

For this customisation, you will need:

• A metal table

• A SHALAKU S mechanical pencil
  

• Uni Paint markers, we’ve selected an average PX20 (2.2 - 2.8mm) tip in Yellow, Light Green, Orange, Pink, White and Red

• A rag, a damp sponge and a degreasing agent to clean the surface

• A finishing varnish (optional)

Tutorial level: Beginner / Advanced / Expert

1^st step: Our Uni Paint permanent all-purpose markers with total coverage are the kings of DIY, both indoors and outdoors! On glass, ceramic, fabric, terra cotta... We love using different surfaces and today, we’ve chosen metal!

Before giving a new lease of life to your table with beautiful colours, you have to properly clean it and remove grease from the surface then dry it so that the markers will adhere properly. So go over it with a sponge and a degreasing agent then wipe the table with the rag.

2^nd step: To guide your customising and properly centre your design, here’s our little tip! With the help of your Shalaku S mechanical pencil, draw two reference lines: a vertical axis and a horizontal axis which will allow you to work symmetrically.

3^rd step: Starting at the centre, you can dive into your creation of doodles with a first design! For each element you draw, create an identical element on the other side of the vertical axis.

You can change things up by using different colours! White, pink, red, yellow... They’re all welcome! For the patterns, let your imagination run wild: a cup of tea, flowers, suns... You can create a unique composition to match your personality. Depending on the desired result, you can also change the tips.

4^th step: After a quick drying and in order to protect the surface of all future manipulations, we encourage you to apply a finishing varnish.

Voilà! You can see your table in a new light and admire it by enjoying a snack under the spring sunshine.
