Preparing the porcelain surfaces
Before you start designing, thorough cleaning is essential. Make sure that your cups and plates are free of dust and grease. This will ensure that the porcelain crayons adhere optimally and that your design lasts as long as possible. It is best to use warm water and mild washing-up liquid and dry the pieces carefully.
Creative design with porcelain crayons
Now it's time for the artistic work! Draw little hearts on the cups and along the edge of the plate with the porcelain crayons. You can of course choose other motifs, but hearts are particularly suitable for special occasions such as Valentine's Day or Mother's Day. Let your creativity run wild and emphasize the individual character of your work of art.
Drying and baking
After you have applied your design, leave the paint to air dry for at least 15 minutes. This will prevent the colors from running during baking. Preheat your oven to 160 °C and bake the porcelain for 25 minutes. This process fixes the color permanently. Leave the porcelain to cool in the oven afterwards to avoid stress cracks.
Match the color of the napkin rings
To create a harmonious ensemble, paint the napkin rings with the VBS handicraft paint color. Allow the paint to dry completely. If you want to repeat the romantic touch, you can also paint small hearts on the napkin rings to complete the overall look.
Conclusion: your personal work of art
With these steps, you have created a very special gift that is both practical and stylish. Your hand-painted cups, plates and napkin rings are not only unique, but also a loving gesture that will be remembered for a long time to come.
