After you're happy with the design, bake it in an oven set to 300 degrees for 35 minutes. This will cure the paint to the mug!

1. If you make a mistake, use a q-tip dipped in water to clean the paint. 2. Don't draw over your lines to darken them; the paint won't adhere well. 3. Keep designs simple for best results. 4. Dollar store mugs work great for this DIY craft! 5. Keep paint on outside of mugs; it's non-toxic, but not food safe.
