Paint design on coffee mug. We didn't use a pattern, simply freehand a flower and add some lines for leaves, then dot a design around the rim of the cup.


Air dry for one hour. Place in cool, oven, heat to 350 F, and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and let cool down completely. Remove from oven.

Wash on top dishwasher rack or by hand.
