'Let's Stay Home' Enamel Mug: Step 1

Use the Washi tape to create your guide lines for your lettering. You can split the phrase 'Lets stay home' across two lines by using one piece of Washi tape.

Now you can begin with your floral pattern. Create ditsy florals with this simple 4 petal shape, try not to worry too much about it looking perfect. Now work these floral shapes across the mug.

Using another colour, add your leaf shapes around the florals. These are similar to teardrop shapes and can be as big or small as you’d like.

Leave the mugs dry for 24 hours. Once dry, place on an overproof dish and bake in the oven at 160 degrees for 40 minutes to secure the design. You can also use a clear varnish to help secure paint.
