2. Trace the lettering onto tracing paper using a soft pencil. Then trace the lettering onto the back of the paper again.
3. Place the paper on the mug, fix the edges with masking tape and rub the motif firmly several times using a hard object such as the back of a knife or a brush handle.

Painting and designing dinnerware
Our porcelain, glass and acrylic paint (Glass Paint/Acrylic Paint/Porcelain & Glass Painter, Porcelain & Glass Painter KIDS) is basically non-toxic and also saliva-proof. Nevertheless, we recommend not to paint drinking rims and cut surfaces of tableware, as the paint is not approved for direct food contact.
