If there is grease, even from a fingerprint, the paint will not cure on the surface of the mugs. You do not want any grease on the surface. To prep our surface we wiped the mugs with rubbing alcohol.
The kids filled in the scenes in the paper sections – we picked our favorite pictures and cut them out. We broke out the markers after folding our 8 1/2 and 11 page into four smaller sections.
