Pom Pom Porcelain Vase

Step 1Clean your porcelain vase with soapy water and dry well. When applying the porcelain markers be careful not to be over generous as the paint can drip as it dries. Shake the markers well before use.
Step 2Sketch out your design onto a piece of paper before you start to decorate your vase. Look to our design above for inspiration or come up with your own
Step 3Copy your design onto your vase with porcelain markers. Allow the markers and paint to dry for a minimum of 24 hours
Step 4Once dry, place the vase in a cold household oven. Once the temperature has reached 160°C, bake your vase for 90 minutes to heat set your design
Remember, when baking your vase, DO NOT pre-heat the oven. The difference in temperature may cause your vase to crack. Instead, put your vase in a cold oven, then turn the oven on

Step 7Use the extra string from the tie to wrap around the neck of the vase and then secure with a knot.
