use Folk Art enamel paint instead of a sharpie. and a clear enamel coat on top of the decal sheet. mod podge does wash off, and I had NO IDEA when I made this video. I'm actually going to update the info now. the enamel paint is about $2 for a 2 oz bottle so it's pretty cheap and can be found at any craft store. you would still need to bake it but i think it says that on the bottle. :)
OH MY GOSH... YOU are my Heroine (woman Hero) TODAY.. This would be so GREAT for my Acting Class... to make personal, custom Cups... Great Gift Ideas from the Kids... to anyone... LOVE this IDEA... I about fell out of my chair when I saw you do the Eraser ... Magical.... Thank you Jennifer for sharing this video.
The decal one looks* really cool, but you coated with Mod Podge. That is water soluble; So even hand washing would be out. Also--If anyone does the Sharpie marker one, make sure to buy the oil based version of the brand. Once heat set, they're waterproof. I learned that the hard way. ;)
I haven't used it yet, but the Dishwasher-Safe Mod Podge should hold up on the top rack. I'm fascinated by the Dry Erase Marker over the Sharpie. Very cool. : )
What software do you use to make your mug designs and make sure it’s the right size? And how do you print onto that paper? Do you have to go to a special store
Where can I buy these at the store? Is decal paper compatible with any printer? My printer is a HP Officejet 5610 All in One so I don't know what type of printer it is....
great ideas! Just wondering what the paper you printed on is called? And do any printers work or do they have to be specific eg. inkjet? Trying to avoid having to buy a mug press machine! Thanks!
I read the comments after I bought the supplies (stupid mistake) do you think that if I used sharpie and sealed it with mod podge or enamel paint and then bake it, it will stay better?
I’ve read the description, and watched the video multiple times...I tried making the mug with the decal (with everything you have listed) but when I went to seal the decal onto the mug, all of my words smeared (I allowed the decal to dry for a day before applying it to the mug...so the ink should’ve been dry). At want point do you heat the mug when using the decal??? Before you apply the decal, before you apply the sealant, after you apply the sealant???
love your NAILS style..also the hard work. where to find the decal sheet,spray and what is the special in paint? how to find in pakistan dear Jennifer?
+Kati Mango thank you. i believe this was an hp inkjet printer. definitely nothing fancy, but one of the cheaper ones that doubles as a copier/scanner. :)
silly question. So can i just use any printer i just mainly have to have the decal PAPER then i can do the same thing? its not so much which printer its the paper right?
Hi Jennifer...thanks for your video and it looks so easy for you. How long have you been doing this? btw, I did not see the link for GIMP. Is this a printing program? After the decal is pasted on the mug, do you need to heat it up so it will not peel off? The mod podge as stated will wash off. What about clear acrylic paint to go on top of it rather than the mod podge?
I saw that you measured the mug. I would like to know how you went about printing out the correct measurements for the decal paper to fit around the mug?
+Keyah Smith make the picture the same measurements as your mug. every design program allows you to create a canvas size and you can choose "inches" as your measurement format :)
HI! I watch your tutorial and it was a very clever idea. I just have one question to ask you and it's about the clear decal paper. Is it going to peel off when I wash it? *sorry for my english btw. Not my mother tongue* Ice - Asia
hi great video. I'm re making a tea set for my daughter. I'm using enamel. I painted the outside only . I would like to paint the inside to cover an ugly design . any ideas on how I can usi ng enamels. to make it food safe ?
Thank you! Ink jet. Although if you plan on washing it, I would find a better sealant that's waterproof. I didn't realize mod podge would wash off. I need to update the info in the description.
+WickersRandomGaming please read the details in the description. there are some things that need to to be modified and i explain further there :) thank you for watching!!
