This DIY guide walks you through decorating a pumpkin-scented candle and a mug to create a seasonal centerpiece. The process involves drawing designs on both items, then heat-setting the mug's artwork by baking it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes before cooling it inside the oven. Finally, hand washing ensures your creation stays vibrant.
You'll need
Directions
- Remove the sticker from your candle, or simply flip it over to use the unmarked back surface for your artwork.
- Sketch your favorite spooky pumpkin expression directly onto the candle using the marker.
- Secure a length of the green ribbon around the top of the candle to add a festive touch.
- Grab your marker again and design a fun face on the side of your chosen mug.
- Place the decorated mug inside an unheated oven.
- Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake the mug for 30 minutes.
- After the time is up, switch off the heat and allow the mug to cool down fully while still inside the oven.
- For the longest-lasting finish, clean the mug by hand rather than using a dishwasher.
