I love holiday and seasonal decor. A great way to add a little decor to your home is with a decorative coffee cup. This Marbling process is simple and you may have the materials already at hand.
Materials:
Step 1
Fill a bowl with water deep enough to submerge the part of the cup you wish to marble.
Drip the nail polish onto the surface of the water. Do not drip from too high up or the polish will sink to the bottom. To add detail use a tooth pick to carefully pull the polish into swirls.
Slowly dip the cup into the water. You can also roll the cup over the top of the water. Experiment and play around with designs and colors.
Shake the excess water from the cup and set aside to dry. Once dry you can add a clear coat or dip again. For more detailed instructions and video check out my Blog post on www.HandPArtistry.com
Use polish remover to clean the excess from the inside of the cup. Play around with different cup shapes and colors from even more unique designs. Hand wash the coffee mugs a dishwasher may peel the paint. Other options are nontoxic ceramic or glass paint.
