...Just FYI, I was able to order paints directly from Decoart.com, bunch of clearance and I got free shipping ( I am not sure if there is a minimum for the free shipping, I am just glad that I got great prices and a bunch of colors that I did not know they existed 🙂).

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@emilynord8740]

I absolutely love your videos, and you've totally inspired me! I have just bought some colors and tools to start dotting myself and I was wondering if you possibly have a video on here (or elsewhere) where you mention the sizes of your tools, specifically your color coded wooden tools. I bought tools that was just easier for me to find here (Sweden) so it would be a big help when making your designs to know which sizes to use. Thank you for sharing your work and giving us so much inspiration!

Thanks for your feedback! I love to hear that! Just to clarify for other readers, nothing I offer is on Etsy anymore but rather my webstore, the Dot Art Depot. 🤗💞 www.dotartdepot.com

[@sreev4343]

Your work is amazing... I’m in love with them. Can we use normal acrylic paint?

[@MB31707]

Love this tutorial! It’s a great idea for a Christmas gift. Please do more gift ideas, I’d love to make some of these for holiday gifts! For this specific mug, did you get one that can be put in the oven or does it not matter? Thanks!

[@larryharris2551]

I love this. How do you decide on colors?

[@ArtinLifestyle]

Waiting for your next video...

[@LydiaMay]

Thank you so much! 🙏🎨💗 I'm editing now! 🙌

[@tinak.3022]

Lydia you did a great job. I love the colors and the fact that the mug isn’t black. I have a question about setting the paint in the oven. Do you preheat the oven and then place the mugs inside? Or do you set the mugs in oven while it’s preheating? Tia

[@faddiycraftsandmusic3084]

wonderful and I like your design how long does it dry completely

[@marilinvega8567]

I loved it! Thank you for sharing. What kind of oven did you use?

[@nirmalabhagat1460]

It's very beautiful.... 😍 But can we do it with fabric paint?

[@rashasabbagh9300]

Soooo beautiful 💕 Ibut which varnish you have used?

[@ohnoudidnt125]

You make it look so easy but I know I'd make a big old mess lol! Love your videos 😁🧡🧡

[@LydiaMay]

You can do it!

[@beckykukoski8678]

You can do it, just takes practice. Tne more you do the better you get. Ptractice on card stock first

[@EvelineUK]

Thank you so much for this video. The mug came out great, what a lovely gift idea. I notice a lot of dotting artists use Deco Art, and you're using Folk Art in this video. Is there much difference between the brands?

[@heniszabo]

Hey Lydia 😊 I recently started working on mugs and casting plaster. What do you use to seal the finished piece with please? :)

[@funnykidzke]

I do them as well! To seal, bake mug at 350 for 30 minutes, and let cool in the oven until room temperature. It's important to put the mug in the oven before the oven is hot.
