Tipp

  • The painting can be corrected or removed as long as the paint has not dried completely. Simply remove the paint with a cotton swab or a cloth and Marabu cleaner.

How it is done:

  • Clean the porcelain mug with scouring milk and a sponge before painting. Then rinse 2-3 times in the dishwasher so that the finish is completely removed. Finally, clean thoroughly with Marabu Cleaner so that it is free of dust and grease.
  • Draw a line 1-2 cm from the top edge with a soft pencil. Do not paint above this line.
  • Pick up paint with a flat brush, start at the marked line and draw a stripe downwards. With a little space in between, draw the second stripe. In this way, create several cups with different colours as desired. Then leave to dry well.
  • Shake the Porcelain & Glas Painter vigorously for approx. 60 seconds with the cap closed. Pump by slowly pressing the tip several times until the ink becomes visible. First write the pens on a piece of paper and then write the lettering directly on the cups. While painting, pump up the ink from time to time if necessary. Close the pen after painting. Allow the ink to dry briefly.
  • Now paint the outline of the stars with the relief paste in gold. Colour in the stars with the silver relief paste and decorate with small dots. Allow the relief paste to dry well.
