'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.

'Let's Stay Home' Enamel Mug: Step 2

Using the tape as a guide, use your dark blue posca pen to write your first words above the strip of 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.
