Hi,

I want to decorate some plain mugs, just for fun, they dont have to be dishwasher safe, but I would like the design to last with hand washing.

What should I use?

Thanks in advance


GW

    Try looking up the Handicrafts index in our Indexed Collections. I'm sure I remember something in there about paints you can buy especially for this.

    Look in the blue bar at the top of the page, which looks something like this:-

    I would think glass paint would probably be best. I'm pressuming the mugs are glazed.

    Yes, they are. I am going to go to the hardware store tomorrow. I tried perm marker and it didn't wash off, but could be scratched off easily.

    I'll let you know how I get on

    Thanks
