Step 1
Project Note: Wash and dry mug.  
 
Place "MOM" sticker letters onto the mug.
 
TIP: Before placing stickers onto the mug, place them on a piece of fabric and then pull off. This will prevent them from permanently sticking to the mug. 
Step 2
Fill Spouncer™ with paint and add polka dots around mug, varying the colors.
 
NOTE: It's best to avoid the lip area.  
Step 3
Pull off stickers while paint is wet and let the mug completely dry.

Step 5
To cure, place mug in a cool oven. Turn oven on to 350° and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the mug in the oven. Once oven is room temperature remove the mug. The mug needs to heat up and cool off with the oven. Hand washing is best.
