Adorned Teacups and Mugs 

Lotta Jansdotter

Got to love this simple idea on sprucing up your porcelain plates, teacups, saucers, etc. To find the tools you need, which really is just a porcelain marker or paint, visit this site or head over to an art shop. If you don't have any porcelain cups, purchase one for cheap at Ikea. I think this makes a great gift!

Supplies:
1. Mug or what ever you wish to decorate
2. Porcelain Marker or Paint
3. Oven

Method:
1. Clean the porcelain mug thoroughly.
2. Draw or paint the design you had in mind on the mug (a simple design works best!).
3. Leave to dry for 24 hours.
4. Then heat your oven to 150C and place the mug in for around 35 minutes.
5. Once 'baked,' leave the mug to cool and wash and dry before using.
