Description

Marble Mugs

Resources

• old nail polish, a variety of colours, the more the better
• a plastic bowl – this will get nail polish stain on it
• warm water
• plain ceramic mugs
• toothpicks or wooden coffee stirrers

Instructions

Instructions
1. To start, fill the bowl with warm water.
2. Have toothpick/stirrer on hand to swirl the nail polish in the water.
3. Then dip a few drops of nail polish into the bowl.
4. You can use as many colours as you like but you must move fast as the nail polish hardens quickly in the water. Be gentle but fast, as the polish may stick together.
5. Use your swirl technique to produce a nice design.
6. And then you dip! You can dip the mugs in differently to get a variety of looks.
7. If you get a little nail polish on the inside of the mug, once dry, you can remove it with nail polish remover and then wash the mug before using it.
8. Use the toothpick/stirrer to perfect your design once out of the water and before the polish hardens.
9. When done dipping, turn the mug upside down to dry on a paper towel.
10. You can dip multiple times. If you want to add more layers of color, just dry in between coats and then dip again. You don’t need the mug to dry completely, just long enough for the nail polish to stick to the mug so that water doesn’t creep underneath.
