IT’S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW!

Prior to use, shake the paint markers well with the cap on (the mixing balls must be clearly audible). Then remove the cap and pump the tip on a neutral surface a few times until the ink becomes visible. Finally, test the pen on a piece of paper and you’re ready to go!

How it is done:

Start by folding back the two top corners of the bags to create the shape of a little house.
Then turn the paper bags round and draw ornate windows, doors and stucco designs on the front with the Deco Painter. You can use a ruler or other aid if necessary but free-hand drawings have a quainter feel.
To add the numbers to the bags, draw a circle on the roof area of each bag in which a number can be written.
Unfold the bags again and add the Advent gifts. Next, fold back the corners again to re-create the roof and secure in place with a little adhesive film.
