Mug
Personalize a plain mug by adding some chalk art! Lightly sand the sides of the mug where you want to paint it. Using a cotton ball with alcohol, wipe off any dirt and oil. Tape off the top and bottom of your mug with washi or masking tape to protect it from paint. Be sure to press the edges down firmly. Use a foam brush to evenly coat chalkboard paint onto the mug. Allow the paint to dry before painting a second coat. Allow 24 hours to dry and remove the painterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tape. Place mugs in a cool oven. Bake for 30 minutes at 300°F. Let the oven cool while mugs are still inside. WorldMags.net
