To create an original gift it is enough to take a mug, baked clay (you can buy colored or white, flesh-colored), acrylic paints and Moment glue or epoxy.
There are two ways to work:
- step by step to do the decor immediately on the mug and fasten each element to epoxy glue;
- make a separate composition and then stick it on the base.
Regardless of which way you go, the mug must be degreased so that the decor adheres well to it. For this, any alcohol composition, even an ordinary wiper, is suitable.
Making a mug with a bunny
Choose a plot, remember school skills of modeling from plasticine, from plastic (polymer clay) fashion elements of a volume application - a hare in a clearing.
If you will do the decor directly on the mug, attach the elements in stages to the glue, following the instructions. After all the elements are in place, paint with acrylic paints the necessary details - eyes, twigs, flowers, follow all other small sketches.
In the same way, you can make volumetric decor separately, fixing each element to glue. You need to do everything carefully, carefully fashioning and fixing all the details. Now place the whole composition on a mug, gently attach it to the glue, finish the details.
After waiting until the glue has completely dried (it will take 12 hours), the mug must be ... baked. Put it in the oven for 10 minutes at a temperature of 130 degrees.
Before use, the mug (decor on it) must be covered with acrylic varnish in several layers.
What is left to do? Decorate a spoon in a similar way and give it to a loved one.
