You have probably witnessed people taking photos and then placing them on t-shirts and coffee mugs. You could be interested, but you have no idea how to go about it. It’s a fun, new and cool idea to create you own fancy printed coffee mugs. Here is how.
• Be creative. Start by visualizing on what photos to print for whom. Is it a gift for your grandparents? Family photos will do. A favorite teacher or your coach? A team photo will do. Reward your vet by giving them a coffee mug with your pet on.
• At this point, purchase your mug to be able to measure the size of your image. Take a number of shots of your object using your camera, or download images from the internet.
• Edit your image to the right size using graphics software. Crop any unwanted parts.
• Print your image, and then load the decal paper on your printer and be sure to print your image on the glossy side. Use plain white paper for colored mugs.
• Use fixative spray to spray your image following its instructions. This prevents the ink from running. Allow the paper to dry then cut out the image. Put it in water. When the paper curls and the decal lifts, slide it onto the mug, and let it dry.
