Beautiful Mugs that you can make for this Christmas! Adorable hand painted reindeer cups and saucers set! The process of applying a stencil to a porcelain mug is very simple even for the most novice craftsmen, and such advanced drawing skills are not required. Accompany each cup with a delicious hot chocolate.
Things you will need:
- Printed reindeer template
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Tape
- 3 white porcelain cups and saucers
- Black porcelain painting pen 0.7 mm
- Red porcelain pen 0.7 mm
- red glass painting
- small brush
- Dish towel
- Oven
Step 1: Use the template
Flip the template over. Using the edge of a sharp pencil, he draws completely over the back of the reindeer images. This is called "carbonating" the image.
Step 2: Cut the template
Now flip the template over and use scissors to cut out all the images.
Step 3: Transfer the images to the cup and saucers
Place the stencils on the cups so that the reindeer noses are just above the bottom edge, and then tape them into place. Be sure to place glue on the back of each cup and two hooves on each saucer.
Step 4: Delete the templates
Carefully remove the stencils from the cups. The stencil image will be transferred to the mug. Now you are ready to outline the drawing with a porcelain pen.
Step 5: Highlight Images with a Porcelain Pen
Use the red porcelain pen to color the reindeer's noses to make Rudolph cuter.
Step 6: Paint the blush on the cheeks
Use a paintbrush to apply a small amount of red glass paint to the reindeer's cheeks. Glass paint works great just to give a thin coat of blush.
Step 7: Let it dry
Once you're done, set the cups and plates aside to dry for 24 hours before moving on to the cooking step.
Step 8: Bake the cups and saucers
Once the cups have dried for 24 hours, use a kitchen towel to remove excess pencil marks from the cups and saucers. Then, place them in a cool oven. Set the temperature to 350 degrees and set the timer for 50 minutes.
Once the timer goes off, turn off the oven and allow the oven to cool completely before opening the oven. The process requires a constant increase in temperature and then decrease, so resist the urge to open the oven while baking.
Once the oven is completely cool, remove the mugs and enjoy a cozy cuppa this Christmas. Merry christmas
