"Sharpie" Mug

Hello! This weekend I did a super easy project that I have seen all over Pinterst. It's the famous Sharpie mug! But, before I did it, I looked up some facts about it. I'm happy I did because I found out that if you just use a sharpie, it will most likely end up washing off. Instead, I just used paint markers. It worked just fine and hasn't washed off yet. Look below for steps on how to make it!

Materials

• Mug, preferably white (Walmart, $3)
• Paint markers (Walmart, a couple bucks per marker I think) 

Steps

1. First, get however many colors you want. I just used one color for mine. The brand of marker I got was Painters in the color violet. I bought this item awhile ago and I just had it laying around, but I got it at Walmart for a couple bucks I think. Walmart actually has quite a few colors to choose from so you can use as many as you want.
2. Paint whatever design you want! I painted a cat face on mine and gave it to my roommate because she loves cats. Be careful not to smudge anything, but if you do, it can be wiped off easily and repainted. That's the nice part about them being paint markers.
3. Once you're done painting, just stick it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees and you're done! You should be able to wash it and the paint shouldn't come off. Here is my final product.

 

This project is super easy, super cute, and affordable! It was only about $6 total. And this is perfect for any coffee or tea drinker! Happy crafting!
