You will need:
Plain black extra-large tea or coffee cups
Stencils
Metallic ceramic paint
Gold Sharpie pen
Silver Sharpie pen
Rubbing alcohol
Q-tips
Tape (scotch or masking)
Begin by washing the outside of your cups with the rubbing alcohol and allowing to dry completely. Use a clean, soft cloth to further remove any residual residue.
Tape your stencil into place. Stencil your desired pattern onto the cup with the sharpie. Trial and error tip: Do not remove hastily, you will end up like I did here, oh, dear! The good thing is, rubbing alcohol works wonders at cleaning up these sort of errors, although it can be tedious.
Here, I've cleaned some away with a Q-tip.
and also added some free-hand hearts. Allow dry time.
Here are examples of the other patterns I made.
This one I also accomplished using a stencil and sharpies.
On this particular cup, I began by drawing a silver heart,
For fun and kitsch, I added "Silence!"
or "Off with your head!"
Place cups into a cold oven and heat to 325. Fire for 40-45 minutes, and turn off oven. Do not remove cups until the oven is completely cool.
