Instructions

  1. Clean the coffee mug with rubbing alcohol or window cleaner.
  2. Tape off a stipe on the bottom of the cup and paint with Timeless Gray. Remove the tape before the paint is dry to prevent the paint from peeling.
  3. Paint your dads thumb with Deep Navy and press onto the mug.
  4. Paint your thumb with Candy Apple and press onto the mug. Repeat the same step for the fish using your pinky and Tropical Foliage. Allow the paint to dry.
  5. With a wood toothpick and Black, paint the details to the thumbprints.
  6. With a liner brush paint the fishing pole and the words on the mug.
  7. Allow the paint to air-dry for 21 days in order to cure completely before washing.
