“Sleigh Ride” is a wrap-around mug pattern that I first painted a little over a year ago and is a great pattern for beginners and seasoned dotters alike! It was SO fun to paint the first time and a pleasure to revisit now. Even though it was created for a mug (or anything it can wrap around), I’ve seen these types of designs done on flat surfaces too. Oh, and don’t worry about getting the same sized mug as I used - I didn’t include how many dots are in the first row for a reason - I promise it doesn't matter and the design will work on everything from mugs, to bowls, to vases!
The mug I painted on was approximately 4.5" tall and approximately 11" around/circumference.
