Leave the mugs dry for 24 hours. Once dry, place on an overproof dish and bake in the oven at 160 degrees for 40 minutes to secure the design. You can also use a clear varnish to help secure paint.

How do you make it safe to drink from, thinking of doing this idea with a plate, thank you.

Asked by: Fer24
The design is only on the outside of the mugs, and while they are sealed by baking and varnishing, the patterned surface would not be considered food safe, so this method would not be suitable for a plate.
