A step for step guide:

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

• Pilot Pintor Markers (available in 14 colours)
• Plain tote bag (or any fabric item you wish to design)
• Pencil or fabric chalk (for sketching)
• Iron (to set the ink)
  
  

Step 2: Plan Your Design
Start by planning your design on the tote bag using a pencil or fabric chalk. This preparation sketch will serve as your guide and help you achieve your desired look.

Step 3: Apply the Ink
With your Pilot Pintor Markers in hand, begin applying the ink to your tote bag. If it's a new marker, first shake the pen and then press the tip 5-6 times onto paper until the ink flows. The markers' fine tips make it easy to add intricate details or bold patterns to your design. 

Step 4: Let It Dry
Allow your newly designed tote bag to air dry for approximately 24 hours to ensure the ink sets completely. This drying time is crucial to prevent smudging or fading.

Step 5: Heat-Set the Ink
Once the ink is dry, place a clean cloth over your design and use a hot iron. Adjust the heat according to the fabric's recommendations. Apply heat for 2-3 minutes. This heat-setting process makes your design permanent. 

Step 6: Flaunt Your Creation
With the ink heat-set, your custom-designed tote bag is ready to be shown off. Whether it's for personal use or gifting, your tote bag will carry your unique style wherever you go.
