Paint a Mug

Present your dad with a hand-painted ceramic mug. For this, buy a plain white mug, clean it, and dry it with a kitchen towel. Using a large thick brush, apply a coat of conditioner. Once the conditioner dries, color the mug with your dad's favorite color.

Apply a thick coat of paint, and leave it to dry. Now apply a coat of gloss glaze over it and after a couple of days, apply the paint over the glazed surface. After a week, wash a small part of the mug to see if the color is coming off. You can sign your name on it. You will not believe how thrilled your dad will be when he receives this mug.
