Directions
- Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Use the pencil to outline the pattern onto the inner “stitched” portion of the mug. Refer to the patterns below. The reindeer will be on one side of the mug and Santa will be on the other side.
- Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-73 Candy Apple Red, SC-48 Camel Back, and SC-15 Tuxedo apply 2 coats to each of the corresponding sections on the reindeer pattern. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Use colors in that order (light to dark) to get the best coverage between sections.
- Using the Script Liner with SC-16 Cotton Tail, SC-20 Cashew Later, SC-27 Sour Apple, SC-73 Candy Apple Red, and SC-15 Tuxedo apply 2 coats to each of the corresponding sections on the Santa pattern. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Use colors in that order (light to dark) to get the best coverage between sections.
- Using the Script Liner with SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply 2 coats to the top and bottom sections of the mug, including the bottom. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
- Using the Script Liner with SC-8 Just Froggy, apply 2 coats to the border stitches and handle. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
- Using the Soft Fan with SG-704 Speckta-Clear Peppermint, apply 2 coats to the inside of the mug. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Apply 1 coat to the outside of the mug.
