Step 1

Label the envelopes by adding the numbers 1 to 24 - you'll be fillingthem with little surprises later on. The edding 751 gloss paint markeris particularly good for this task and comes in a choice of differentmetallic colours.

Step 2

To decorate your window, you will need the edding 4095 chalk markerin white or in another colour of your choice. First, activate the markeras follows: shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on, thenremove the cap and pump the marker up and down several times on apiece of absorbent paper until ink appears in the tip. After using themarker, make sure the cap is put back on properly. Store horizontally.Use the chalk marker to draw a garland on the window and decorate itwith snowflakes, Christmas stockings and other Christmassy motifs.If you prefer, you can also make a template, stick it behind thewindowpane and simply copy the motif.

Step 3

If you make a mistake, simply wipe off using a damp cloth at any time.Draw several vertical lines. After leaving them to dry briefly, use themto "hang" the envelopes you prepared earlier.
