Paint your own mug

One of the fun projects here at The Pinnaroo Project was designing and painting your own cup. Easy to do and all you need is some special pens, a mug and a home oven to set the paint.
Follow these basic steps too create beauty in your hand.

directions

  • On a white cup, mug or plate. With an acrylic pen (see below) paint the clean surface of the porcelain.
  • If you don’t like what you have made, simply wipe it off. A damp cloth may help.
  • Be careful, as fingers may smudge the artwork.
  • For little kids, cut out a stencil, blue tack it on and have them paint around the stencil. When completed remove it and the blueback.
  • When the artwork is completed, put it into an over, about 45min at 160C will set the paint.
