Instructions No. 3395
Mother's Day is around the corner and you're on the hunt for a special gift that comes from the heart? Instead of the usual cards or chocolates, we have a creative idea for you: a custom-designed tea box with a matching mug. Follow our simple step-by-step instructions to create a gift that will delight your mother and bring her lasting joy.
Mother's Day Gift - Decorate the Tea Box
Paint your chosen box in your desired base color. Let everything dry well and ensure the hinges do not stick with paint, allowing the lid to remain movable.
Once the paint on the box is dry, you can decorate it as you wish. For lettering, it's helpful to outline it in pencil first. This way, you can partition the space well and make any necessary corrections. After drying, simply erase the pencil lines and add further details freehand.
Mother's Day Gift - Decorate the Mug
When decorating the mug, you can't pre-draw the lettering. However, you can write your desired letters on a piece of paper as a guide. Once you've placed the letters, add additional decorations. You can base your design on the box or create an independent design.
Allow the paint to dry well and place the mug in the oven for 25 minutes at 160°C to harden it. Once the mug has cooled and the box is filled with tea, you can pack your personalized gift and make your mother happy.
