For this tutorial, you will need:

• A black Signo roller gel pen for the finishing touches

• If you want, you can also download our template.

Tutorial level: Beginner / Advanced / Expert

1^st step: The materials.

If you’ve never tested the Signo roller gel pens on fabric, here’s your opportunity to try it! A 0.7 mm tip for the precise and fine lines, pastel colours for the shades which are both soft and light at the same time.

For the flag, you can easily find them in arts and crafts stores, they’re affordable and ready to be customised by you.

Finally, if you want, you can print out patterns to guide you in your creation or reuse the ones we’ve chosen.

2^nd step: Tracing the outline

If you’ve chosen to reuse our template (available here), or one you’ve selected on your own, place it on your flag in order to trace the outline of the different patterns.

For a nice colourful and harmonious result, we advise you to vary the colours and work in a symmetrical way.

3^rd step: Filling in

Then it’s time for filling in, an incredibly satisfying step! So easy: colour each pattern the same colour as its outline.

The moment for enjoying the coverage of the Signo roller gel pens’ multi-surface gel ink has arrived!

4^th step: The finishing touches

Of course, the customisation isn't complete without a few details to provide contrast. With the help of a black Signo pen, draw some finishing touches on your patterns. For example, here, we’ve outlined the feathers and details of the animals’ fur, the beak, the eyes... Anything that brings the image to life.

Let your imagination run wild!

5^th step: Setting the colours

Finally, before showing off your hand-made creation, don't forget to set the colours by ironing your creation inside-out without steam.

6^th step: A colourful result to admire!

Your personalised flag is done, do you like it? In any case, we hope the kids who will display it in their bedrooms or playrooms will be happy with it.
