Hand-Painted Mugs

Materials
• Pencil and paper
• Pebeo Porcelaine 150 glaze (sold at many art supply stores)
• Watercolor brush or cotton swabs
• Ceramic mugs

Step 1:
Try out a few designs on paper before decorating a mug. When ready, lay the mug on its side and apply the glaze, which is a little thicker than India ink, with the brush or a cotton swab.

Step 2:
Let the painted mug air-dry for at least 24 hours.

Step 3:
Set the glaze by baking the mug in a preheated 325 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Variations:
For a special touch, fill the mug with assorted tea bags or a package of hot chocolate mix.

Tips:
To keep the project cost efficient, pick up only primary colors (red, yellow and blue) and mix them to create a variety of hues.
