DIY: PAINT WHITE CHINA TEACUP WITH GOLD SHARPIE

Here is another fun and of course EASY DIY. As you may have noticed I don't like to overly complicate things, and I usually look at the amount of time and materials needed, and see if it is worth doing it myself or just buy! So here is another DIY which requires only 2 things!

Inspired by this post I found on Pinterest, I decided to give it a shot and create a mini DIY.

 

Materials:

1. Cup/Mug/Glass of your choice

2. Gold oil Paint Sharpie-make sure it is OIL based not water (from Michaels)

3. Oven (optional) 

4. Nailpolish remover/cotton swab (optional)

So I started with just doing the bottom rim of the cup, and moved over the more fun part, the saucer! 

TIP: If you mess up, just clean it which a cotton swab and nail polish remover. You don't even have to do it right away, if you change your mind even the next day it will come right off with the remover.

I bought this set just because of this cute bow, even in white it looked fine but why not embellish it a little right!

And there you go, all done!
Now you can stop here and use this as a decorative object, but if you intend to use and wash it regularly, make sure to Bake it in the oven.

Recommended time is 30 mins at 350 deg. 

TIP: make sure you place the objects as the oven is warming up, so the china/glass doesn't get temperature shock and shatter into pieces! Also, do the same once done, leave the objects in the oven as it cools. Leave the oven door cracked open for faster cooling.

Only hand wash, not dishwasher or microwave safe, but sure does look pretty!
