Marvelous Mug

A few christmas gifts from my boss ago, i got a set to paint your own mug. I didn't really find a good use to it untill fathers day last year. When toddler and I made a mug for daddy. With toddlers fingers and the paint this gave a cool mug for daddy to use at work.

Now I wanted to do the same for the godfather of baby, but since all the paint was used during the fathers day project (you know how this goes..;)) I had to go out and buy new paint. Unfortunately they don't sell child friendly porcelain paint anymore. So we had to thing of something else... This is what I came up with:

With child friendly finger paint I made a hand print on a regular piece of paper. Then I cut this piece of paper around the shape of the hand and used it as a mold on the mug.

Then I used porcelain markers to place dots around the hand print. Now you can make this as crazy or lovely as you want. But for this mug I only covered the part around the hand print. Unfortunately I have no end result picture of this mug. :(

But fortunately.... I used the same idea for baby's godmother and since she is a big fan of a lot of tea or coffee, she got a very big mug from our local dollar store (Action).
