A great souvenir, Christmas gift, or just because! The recipient is guaranteed to be delighted with this beautiful homemade gift. The napkin technique gives the mug and the matching tile as coaster a wintry look. Filled with their favourite biscuits, the ensemble is perfectly rounded off and ready to give joy.

How to make the beautiful gift set:
Preparation:

Wash the mug and tile well or wipe it with glass cleaner so that the surfaces are free of grease and dust.

Napkin technique:

First cut the napkin as desired and remove the unprinted layers. For the napkin technique, you only need the printed layer. Coat the cup with the napkin varnish especially for porcelain and place the napkin on the coated area. Leave the rim of the cup free so that it forms a drinking rim. Coat the motifs again with lacquer and leave to dry. Carefully apply the varnish from the inside to the outside. Tip: You can wipe off too much varnish with a cotton bud. When doing so, however, make sure that the edges of the napkin are well fixed, otherwise the napkin motifs may come loose again after baking.

Proceed in the same way with the tile. Here, make sure that you also coat the motifs over the edges with the lacquer. Now burn the napkin as described in the product instructions. For the VBS napkin varnish "Glass & Porcelain", the firing time in the oven is approx. 30 minutes at 160°.

Food-safe clear lacquer:

You can still coat the cup and tile with lifelike varnish. For cups and mugs, we generally recommend not sticking the napkin all the way to the edge so that a drinking rim remains.

Decoration:

Now you can decorate the cup and tile as you wish. We filled biscuits into a cellophane bag and closed it decoratively with a ribbon. We arranged this in the cup together with a bamboo skewer, which we decorated with paper and a miniature kitchen spoon. In addition, a gift tag can be tied to the biscuit bag with a small recipe, nice greetings or a nice thank you note.

As a nice addition we have designed a card. Simply choose your favourite paper and stick it on a double card with 3D adhesive pads.

Now you can arrange everything together with a biscuit cutter. The gift also looks beautiful when wrapped in gift wrap. You can then tie the card to the wrapped gift as an eye-catcher. A beautiful gift is ready!
