My family is obsessed with mugs. We have a collection of all different kinds and despite having a cupboard full, they are constantly searching for new ones to add to the stockpile. It was no big surprise when one of the girls wanted to make mugs for her friends. She came up with this super cute idea for these DIY Sharpie Mugs. You know me, I love a good challenge where I can try to make something myself and possibly save a few pennies (but still have it look perfect). Here is our DIY version of Sharpie Mugs, but you can make yours with any design you choose.

Supplies

White Mugs [HERE]

Sharpie Oil Markers [HERE]

Magic Eraser Sheets [HERE]

Baking Sheet

 

Instructions

Remove any stickers and make sure your mugs are clean and dry.

Using the Sharpie Oil Markers draw the design of your choice. This will not work with regular Sharpie markers, trust me, we tried.

Slightly dampen the Magic Eraser Sheet and rub lightly if you make a mistake or if the paint smudges or smears. Dry the mug and redo.

Allow the paint to dry – it only takes a few minutes and lightly go over the design again with the markers, if needed.

Finish painting the design until you have it the way you want it.

Allow to dry completely (24 hours is suggested).

Place the mugs on a baking sheet upside down and turn the oven on to 425 degrees.

Put the baking sheets and the mugs in the oven as it preheats.

Set the timer for 30 minutes once the oven is heated to 425 degrees.

After the timer goes off, turn off the oven and leave the mugs inside to cool down.

Remove the mugs when completely cool.

*Baking may create a slight discoloration of the paint – lightly paint over the design on the finished mug once cooled, if you choose

*Lightly Hand Wash – dishwasher not recommended

Look at how cute these DIY Sharpie Mugs turned out! So adorable! This project is so simple with minimal time and skill required – the best!

These make great gifts for any occasion or to stock your cupboard with your own designs.
