hand painted porcelain
what you'll need:
- porcelain mug, plate, picture frame (anything that's porcelain will work)
- porcelain paint pen (Pebeo Porcelaine 150 outliner from dick blick)
do it!:
1. Make sure your mug is clean and dry.
2. Paint your design! If you mess up just wipe the paint away with a wet paper towel. Some porcelain paints are not recommended for surfaces that come in contact with food. So just to be safe, don’t paint the inside of your mug! 3. Once you’ve finished your masterpiece let the paint dry for 24 hours. Then, bake your mug according to the paint package instructions (its usually bake in oven at 300 degrees for 30 minutes). After baking turn off the oven and leave the mug inside until it has gradually cooled to room temperature. After you bake it the paint is dishwasher safe.
glass jar typography
what you'll need:
- glass jar (yogurt, mason, jam, baby food, etc...) or vase
- wire (if you are going to hang them)
- wire cutter
- very fine paint pen for glass (found at your local craft store)
- tape
- a list of your guests names (or what you wish to write on the jar) printed out
do it!:
1. Make sure your jars are clean and dry.
2. Tape the name you wish you draw on the inside of the jar.
3. Trace the name on the glass with your fine paint pen
4. Remove the paper and make any necessary touch ups.
5. Add some flowers to the jars and display them on a table (beautiful) or add some wire around the lip of the jar to hang it. Voila!
