Make a macramé rainbow
How to instructions
- 1 Cut seven 20 cm long pieces of natural-colour cotton string.
- 2 Wrap light purple embroidery yarn tightly around the middle portion of one of the pieces of string. Then fold the string in half to join the two light purple ends together and secure the yarn.
- 3 Wrap dark purple embroidery yarn around the next piece of cotton string, and fold it around the light purple arch. Secure together with needle and thread.
- 4 Repeat step 3 with the colours blue, green, yellow, apricot and red until you have a complete rainbow.
- 5 Trim the cotton strings to about 2.5 cm long. Cut fringe at the ends.
- 6 String a wooden ball onto the key chain and sew in place at the top of the rainbow.
Craft a charming rainbow key ring with embroidery yarn! Here, we've used a simple macramé design and wrapped yarn around cotton string. A personalised key ring also makes it much easier to keep track of your keys.
Make marvellous macramé earrings
How to instructions
- 1 Cut 3 pieces of 30 cm long, natural-colour cotton string. The string is made of several thinner pieces of string that are twisted together. Separate the threads, comb them, and put them back together to produce a fluffier string. Repeat this step with each of the three pieces of string.
- 2 Fold the 3 strings in half and tie them to a creole ring using a larks head knot: fold the string in half. Pass the looped end through the ring, then thread the string ends through the loop and tighten, resulting in two centre threads. You should now have 6 pieces of string hanging from the ring.
- 3 Row 1: Set aside the two outer strings and use the four centre strings to tie a macramé knot, in other words, one left square knot and one right square knot. That is, you are tying the knot around the two centre strings.
- 4 Row 2: Tie a macramé knot with the three strings to the right. In other words, you are only tying the knot around one string this time. Then tie a macramé knot with the three strings to the left.
- 5 Row 3: Tie a macramé knot with the four centre strings again.
- 6 To finish, tie double diagonal half-hitches on both the right and left sides, so that the earring ends in a point.
- 7 Fluff the threads and trim the fringe to about 25 mm. Now make another identical earring!
You can use macramé to make beautiful pieces of jewellery! Getting started with macramé can be a little complicated at first, but once you've figured out the knots, it's so much fun that you won't want to quit. A pair of hand-tied macramé earrings is the perfect gift for a friend, but make an extra pair for yourself, too! Check out how to make your own macramé earrings in our video tutorial.
Shade with markers
How to instructions
- 1 Use a special marker pad to prevent the ink from feathering or bleeding through to the next sheet of paper.
- 2 Evenly colour an entire area.
- 3 Before the ink dries, immediately colour up and back over the coloured field.
- 4 Gradually reduce the area you are colouring, until you are satisfied with the shading, i.e. the shift in colour from light to dark.
- 5 Remember that if you let each layer of ink dry before you continue, your shading will have distinct transitions.
Practice shading with Panduro Colour Markers! The alcohol-based markers have double, replaceable tips and are perfect for colouring. The ink is transparent, so it appears best on white paper. Shading involves changing the colour value from light to dark. This adds vitality to your pictures and creates beautiful transitions from one colour to another. Tip! Fill in the preprinted colour chart with all of your Panduro Colour Markers and their unique colour number for an overview of the colour and intensity of each marker. While the colour is displayed on the cap, it can never present the exact hue that is produced when drawing.
Colour with markers in layers
How to instructions
- 1 Start by sketching a design in pencil on a sheet of marker paper.
- 2 Trace the outlines with a thin water-based drawing pen.
- 3 Erase the pencil lines completely after the ink has dried. This is important, because otherwise the pencil may mess up your colours.
- 4 Colour the different areas in consecutive fields for even results. Colour an area multiple times to obtain a deeper, darker colour.
- 5 Start with the lightest colour and then continue with darker colours to create soft transitions.
- 6 If you want certain areas to be white, retain the white space simply by not colouring there.
- 7 Use the colourless blender to create highlights and lighten coloured areas. To do that, apply the blender to that area to make the colour there lighter.
Create incredible drawings and illustrations with Panduro Colour Markers! The alcohol-based markers are perfect for colouring and have double, replaceable tips: a thin tip at one end for details and a wide, angled tip at the other for thicker lines and filling in bigger areas. Because the ink is transparent, you can create soft transitions from one shade to another and use layering to deepen the colour. The more layers you add, the darker the colour will be. Always use alcohol-based markers on a special marker pad to prevent the ink from feathering or bleeding through the paper. Tip: You can also use the blender to remove ink that may have ended up outside the lines.
Colour in colouring books with markers
How to instructions
- 1 Cut out the design you want to colour along the cutting line in the colouring book.
- 2 Protect your work surface with a desk mat while colouring. Place a sheet of blotting paper under the design, because the ink will bleed through the paper.
- 3 Use a light hand when colouring. If you press the tip in one place for too long, the ink may spread outside the lines.
- 4 If you happen to colour outside the lines, you can remove the ink with a colourless blender. Dab the ink with the blender to absorb the colour and remove the spot.
- 5 You can also use the blender to create highlights and to lighten areas youve already coloured. Use the blender to pick up ink in an area youve already coloured.

Graffiti with markers
How to instructions
- 1 Start by drawing a design in pencil on a sheet of marker paper.
- 2 Fill in the lines with a thin ink pen (fine liner).
- 3 Erase the pencil lines completely before you start colouring.
- 4 Colour the different areas consecutively for even results. For a darker, deeper colour, you can go back over the area with the pen a second time.
- 5 Start with the lightest colour and then continue with darker colours to create soft transitions.
- 6 Use the colourless blender to create highlights and lighten coloured areas.

Paint abstract art with templates
How to instructions
- 1 Paint the entire background, however you like.
- 2 Draw templates in various shapes and sizes on a piece of paper.
- 3 Cut them out and trace them onto your picture. They can even overlap each other.
- 4 Paint the shapes any colours you like.
Bring out your inner artist and make abstract art with acrylic paint! You don't have to be a pro to make beautiful pictures. Acrylic paint is water-soluble, opaque and quick-drying, so if something goes wrong, you can just paint over it. Try brushing on the background and applying it with a sponge to see what kinds of effects you can create.
Make a calendar for the year in your BuJo
How to instructions
- 1 Begin by sketching the page out in pencil.
- 2 Draw boxes for each month.
- 3 Fill in the dates in the boxes. Use a calendar to make sure you correctly match the dates and days of the week.
- 4 Go over your pencil lines in thin black pen.
- 5 Cut pieces of paper tape and stick them above each month box. Write the name of the month on the tape in permanent marker. Dont use the permanent marker directly on the paper, because it will bleed through.
- 6 Colour in the weekend boxes and decorate your calendar with coloured pencils.
- 7 Finally, write the year or a nice quotation along the top as a heading.
Plan and organise your life with a bullet journal ("bujo"). Bullet journaling is a concept that lets you combine a calendar, diary, dreams and plans - all in one notebook. The subtle dot grid on the pages in a dotted journal helps when writing, drawing and sketching. Draw and write in pencil first, and then go over the lines in pen once you're satisfied. A calendar at the beginning of your journal, like the one we've made here, is always useful - it will give you a quick overview of the new year.
