Hello all! I'm sure many have seen this DIY mug idea on Pinterest. I wanted to make some friends really easy, yet cute gifts for Christmas.
Shopping List:-White Plain Mugs (Target, Ikea, Walmart, etc.)
-Oil based Paint Sharpie markers (Michael's)
-Stencil Stickers (Target, Michael's or Jo-ann's)
1. Clean and wash your mugs! Wipe the area of your mug where you will draw with alcohol prep swabs (optional although recommended so paint stays on well).
2. Stick your sticker stencil on the mug and decorate away! Make sure to specifically use the oil-based paint sharpie markers. Regular sharpies will wash off quick in the dishwasher. DO NOT USE REGULAR SHARPIES!
3. Bake your mugs in the oven at 350 degrees. This will set the paint.
4. After your mug has cooled down, stuff your cups with some "mug" stuffers. I put some chocolates and lipstick. Other ideas: tea, candy, nail polish, jewelry, gift cards, etc.
I also stenciled my friend's names on the back which is also really easy to do. Hope this helps and inspires you to make these!
