Welcome back! I recently tried out this DIY painted mug tutorial and it was a HUGE success!
Heres what you'll need:
- a mug (of your choice)
- a variety of paint markers
- rubbing alcohol
- oven
- stickers
Step One
Clean off the outside of your mug with some rubbing alcohol and let air dry
Step Two
Choose the design you want to decorate your mug with
Note: I chose to place an A sticker on one side and dot around it. Tighter dots closer to the A and have them dissipate the further i got from the sticker
Step Three
Apply the design using the paint markers.
Hint: let the paint dry before applying multiple layers
Hint: rubbing alcohol applied to a paper towel will allow you to "erase" your mistakes
Step Four
Place your finished mug in a cool oven and set the baking temp to 300.
Hint: Remove any stickers before baking
Note: Yqou want the oven to heat up with the mug in it because if the oven is hot and then the mug is placed in it the mug can crack
Step Five
Allow the mug to cure in the 300 degree oven for 30 minutes
Step Six
Turn the oven off and allow the mug and oven to cool down together
Step Seven
Use your new mug any chance you can!! OR you can decorate them and give them as gifts!
Note: always hand wash your mug to ensure the paint is preserved
Let your creative flags fly!!
