Vintage Ceramic or Porcelain Tea Cups and Saucers
Porcelain Paint Marker, (I used Pebeo Vitrea 160 Paint Marker in Pink)
Instructions: Draw design onto tea cups and saucers. Allow for paint to set for 24 hours. Once it has set, follow baking instructions indicated on porcelain paint. I baked mine for 40 minutes at 325 degrees.
So cute!
