DIY Sharpie Mug
Want ❇️ Learn How To Make Sharpie Mugs? There are a lot of great craft projects out there there in “Creative Land” but none of them are quite as frugal as the ❇️ DIY Sharpie Mug.
All you need for these projects is some plain mugs which are easily found at just about any dollar store for…well a dollar plus some Sharpie Markers.
The key (according to all these great tutorials) is to use Oil Based Sharpie Paint Pen Markers which can be found at stores like JoAnn’s, Michaels, or from Amazon instead of the regular water based ones.
The oil based paint pens are what make these mugs washable (yes…even dishwasher safe!) and last a long time.
The DIY Sharpie Mug process is quite simple really but here are a few tips to making your Sharpie Mugs:
- Prep your mug by washing in warm soapy water and letting them dry.
- Remove any residual oil from your hands and fingerprints with some rubbing alcohol.
- Use a stencil, sticker or freehand it. Be creative and have fun!
- Bake your mugs in a 350° oven for about 30 minutes.
- Once the 30 minute baking time is up turn the oven off and let those mugs cool inside the oven…this allows them to cool slowly which cures the paint AND prevents your mugs from shattering from the change in temperature going from a hot oven to the cool air in your home.
These mugs make great gifts for your friends, relatives, co-workers, teachers, neighbors too. Really, anyone who appreciates a little handmade artwork!
I hope you enjoy this collection and be sure to leave a comment and let me know which one is your favorite!
