Instructions: Project instructions below. Mayco encourages you to vary colors, patterns and techniques to create your own designs.


  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean Sponge and wipe Bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply 2 Coats of FN-001 White to the lower section of the mug and 3 Coats of SC-80 Basketball to the rim and the coaster of the mug.
  3. Using a CB-604 #4 Soft Fan, apply randomly, SC-39 Army Surplus, SC-51 Poo Bear, and SC-52 Toad-ily Green. Press in some texture, such as paper towel into the wet color to blend the colors. Brush SC-80 Basketball onto a textured surface then press to the mug randomly.
  4. Using AC-213 Sponge on-a-Stick, tap the ST-379 Totem Blanket Stamp with SC-15 Tuxedo, then press onto the mug. Stamp the lip of the mug and the coaster with the ST-383E Chain Link Stamp.
