Let’s keep it real, folks. Not every creation has a happy ending. Take, for instance, this experiment trying to personalize three stainless steel cups for my kids on Valentine’s day.
Evidently, spray paint, masks (that I labored over for hours!), and stainless steel don’t mix.
Only one of my kids has a name that is mass produced on pencils, cups, and their ilk, so if the other two would like to have their personal monikers on objects, well, mama’s gotta make it happen.
But not this time.
If you want to make personalized cups, there are a couple of make-it-and-paint-it-yourself pottery places around here you and your kids might enjoy

kinda looks like they have aged without being used. I like it though. The next one’s will turn out. Most of my finished projects are third attempts.
