Using markers to DIY print a logo on a swim cap is an easy and low-cost way to customize your swim cap, especially for individuals and small batches. Here are the exact steps to follow:
Prepare materials
Swim cap: choose a suitable swim cap, preferably a smooth surface silicone swim cap, so that the ink of the marker pen is easier to adhere.
Marker: choose waterproof and washable marker to make sure the logo won’t fade or peel off while swimming.
Design drawing: design the logo you want to print in advance, it can be a hand-drawn sketch or a computerized design.
Fine tip brush: for drawing the detail part.
Transparent tape: for fixing the design on the swim cap to prevent it from sliding.
Scissors: for trimming the tape and the design.
Ruler and pencil: to mark and position the design on the swim cap.
Steps
Design Preparation:
Print out the design or just hand draw it on paper.
If it is a computerized design, make sure the printout is the right size for the swim cap.
Secure the design:
Place the design on the swim cap and fix it with transparent tape to make sure the pattern is positioned correctly.
Marking Positioning:
Use a pencil to lightly mark the edges of the design on the swim cap so that the outline of the pattern will still be visible when the design is removed.
Drawing Logo:
Follow the marked outline and start drawing the logo with the marker.
Start with the large color blocks first, then the detailed parts.
Use a fine-tipped brush to work on the edges and details of the pattern to refine it.
Check and correct:
Keep checking the position and shape of the pattern during the drawing process and correct it if needed.
Ensure that all colors are evenly covered and nothing is missed.
Wait for drying:
After finishing the drawing, allow the swim cap to dry naturally for a while, or follow the marker’s instructions for the proper drying time.
Test for water resistance:
After drying, you can test the waterproofness of the logo in water to ensure that the ink does not come off.
Final check:
If the logo performs well in the water test, then the DIY print is complete.
If needed, you can repeat the above steps to make corrections or redraw it.
Precautions.
Make sure the marker is waterproof and washable as the swim cap will be in constant contact with water.
Be patient during the drawing process, especially when working with details.
Drying and testing are crucial steps to ensure that the logo lasts, don’t ignore them.
DIY printing logos on swim caps using markers is a quick and economical method, but may not last as long as professional printing. Consider using a professional printing service if you need a more professional look.
