Painted Coffee Mug for Mom

Designed by Amanda Formaro of FamilyCorner.com

Painting on a coffee cup is just as easy as painting on a piece of paper or wood. Use this simple yet cute design for your Mother's Day coffee mug, or create your very own! The possibilities are endless.

You will need:

white coffee mug
*acrylic enamel paints
paint brush

* We used FolkArt Enamels™ and found them at Michael's Craft Store in the acrylic paint aisle.

What you do:

Wash and dry mug completely.
Paint design on coffee mug. We didn't use a pattern, simply drew a freehand flower and added some lines for leaves, then dotted a design around the rim of the cup.

Air dry for one hour. Place in cool oven, heat to 350 degrees, and bake for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and let cool down completely. Remove from oven.

Wash on top dishwasher rack or by hand.
