DIY Plant Mugs
Supplies
white coffee mug
decal paper
scissors
turpentine
water-based polyurethane
foam craft brushes
inkjet printer
Directions
1. Choose a photo and size it to fit the white cup when cut out. A close up face shot will work best.
2. Using an inkjet printer, print the image onto the transparent side of the waterslide paper.
Consider printing the photos tall enough to touch the top edge of the cup so that the plant looks like hair.
3. Trim the image to fit the mug.
4. Using a foam brush, paint a thin layer of turpentine onto the white mug. Set aside.
5. Submerge the photograph into warm water for 30 seconds.
6. Gently slide the transparent photograph away from the white decal paper backing. Immediately place the transparent image on top to the turpentine painted mug.
7. Avoid touching the photo once you slide it into place. Allow the ring dish to dry completely.
8. Coat with a layer of clear paint.
