Hey there everyone! This is Kenzie from Strokes of Serendipity just stopping by for a quick DIY tutorial. Today, I'm going to show how to personalize your porcelain - a project that will get you quick gifts, something special for yourself and can even do with kids! It's super easy and fun so let's get started.



You will need:
- a clean ceramic mug {you can also use plates or bowls. I bought my mug at Wal-mart.}
- Porcelain paint {I used a paint pen, but you can use the little bottles also with a paintbrush. I bought it at Michael's Craft Store.}
- a baking sheet
- an oven



Step 1: Make sure you have cleaned and dried your mug. Shake your paint up to make sure it's all mixed and draw your design on your mug. Note that: the color will be the same after baking the mug so you may have to go over your design a few times to get a darker color. Also, if you want to make more solid colors or are doing this project with kids, I would buy the paint to use with a paintbrush so you don't get the line-y quality of the pen.



Step 2: Allow the mug to dry for 24 hours {or more}.



Step 3: Bake the mug at 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 C) for 35 minutes. {Check your instructions on your paint bottle to be sure. This is what it said for my paint, but it may be different for yours.}



Step 4: Clean the mug again before using {it is dishwasher safe} and enjoy your new mug or give it away to a friend!

Thanks for joining me in making this super quick and easy DIY! I hope you all enjoyed it!
