If anyone is still keeping up with this blog, I appreciate your patience with me!
I promised to try to do a DIY each week. Last weekend, my sister got married, so I wasn't able to blog. So, I will blog about part of her wedding gift!
My brother-in-law (that still sounds so weird!) drinks a ton of coffee, and now that they got a nice Keurig coffee maker for Christmas, so does my sister! So in addition to buying them some great stuff for their new home, I made them some mugs, inspired by Red Velvet Art! (http://www.shopredvelvet.com/)
To make your own customized mugs, you will need:
Mugs, of course
a hot oven
ceramic paint- I used Folk Art Enamels for ceramics
paintbrushes
Clean and dry your mug, and then paint the design you want.. You may need to do a couple of coats. Let it dry completely for an hour (or with the Folk Art paint, you can just let it dry for 21 days).
I followed the directions on the ceramic paint, which said to put the mugs into a cold oven, turn it on for 350 F, and bake for 30 minutes.
These mugs need to be hand washed. Also, read the precautions on your paint- not all of it can come in contact with liquid or food.
