Master class on decorating a unique mug
Often, you need to give something not very expensive, but at the same time with all your heart and love. At such moments, you need to think about the question: what can you do with your own hands? After all, the most dear to the heart present These are handmade gifts.
An excellent option for a gift for the New Year, for example, for the whole family, or for Valentine's Day, for a couple and for many other holidays - mugs. This is the item in the house that is always needed in everyday life and is used every day. And what’s most important is that you can surprise anyone with such a gift, and it’s very simple and inexpensive.
All you need to create a unique mug is:
- an ordinary white mug purchased at any tableware store (the material does not matter). The cost of such a mug does not exceed 500 rubles;
- a large, deep plate or pan (which you don’t mind spoiling);
- colored nail polishes. Absolutely different brands and colors for every taste;
- nail polish remover and some cotton pads.
1. So, the first thing to do is to thoroughly wash the decorated mug with soap and wipe it dry.
2. Pour water into a saucepan or other container.The water should be at such a level that when you put a mug in the pan, it would stand and not float, but at the same time, the water level should not reach the top of the mug.
3. Prepare and open the varnishes you want to use. For example 5 different colors. Drop a few drops of each varnish into the water, in different directions, but closer to the center.
4. Dip the mug into the very center of the accumulation of polishes and make a couple of circular movements, up and down movements. Here you need to turn on your imagination.
5. Remove the mug from the water and turn it over and let it dry for 24 hours.
6. After the mug is dry, wipe off any unnecessary varnish from the bottom of the mug. You can also correct the drawing, remove unnecessary elements, using nail polish remover.
There you go! A wonderful, bright, and most importantly unique mug as a gift is waiting for the right occasion! A nuance to remember: it is better that the area of decoration with varnish does not reach the place on the cup that is touched with the lips. And such mugs should absolutely not be washed in dishwashers! Only with your hands. The effect of dishwashing sponges on them is absolutely safe, and a dishwasher will ruin the entire pattern in a couple of passes. This point can be communicated to the recipient of the gift in a comic form when presented, or you can write about it in a small postcard that will be included with the main gift.
