Lovely Mugs DIY


Lovely Mugs DIY



Hello there! So today I have a cute DIY project! I found these little mugs on Pinterest and it's the simplest project! And you only need a few materials.

 
       Materials:
-Permanent Markers (preferably paint markers)
-Blank Mugs (preferably white)

For this you can have any colored permanent marker. I chose red and black since the mugs were Valentine's Day Presents from a couple months back. 

I used regular sharpies since they were just lying around my house. The only downfall is that it can easily be rubbed off even after baking it. So if you use plain sharpies only use the mug as decoration- like a pen holder. [I did not try this but online it says if you are using regular sharpie- draw your design and let it dry. Then draw over the design a second time and let dry. Also only hand-wash.]

Now go crazy an doodle! Draw some hearts and funny notes and cute messages. And don't worry if it's messy! Since it's a DIY, the messier the cuter! 

When you're done drawing, let the sharpie dry for between 30 minutes- a couple hours. Then preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Then bake it for 30 minutes.

This is such a cute and inexpensive gift! Just fill it with tissue paper, candy, and hot chocolate and Voila! You're done and everyone will love this cute personal gift. The Instagram post from above was from my friend Ashley. I gave her this particular mug, candy, and a cute picture of us (from Nerdy Day at school) and she loved it.

I hope you enjoyed this post! I promise I will post more often. Thanks!

Lots of Love,
Megan
