Paint cups – detailed instructions and helpful tips
If you would like to paint cups yourself, you need the following: special porcelain crayons (can be found in almost every craft store), a cup of light porcelain without ornaments, ethanol from the pharmacy, graphite copy paper, possibly a template, pencil, Tesafilm and scissors. First, you should clean the cup very well to remove any traces of dust, grease or detergent. Now you have two options – to paint something directly on the porcelain surface and remove any errors with ethanol, or to draw the motif on graphite copy paper, and then transfer it to the cup. When using a template, swipe the back of the subject with the pencil, then glue the template to the cup and retighten the contours of the subject by pressing hard with the pencil. The next step is to trace the motif transferred on the cup with porcelain pencils. Allow the cup to air dry for about four hours and then place it in the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of 160 ° to make the porcelain paints dishwasher safe. And done!
