Easy DIY Mug

These mugs are such an easy thing to make and a great DIY project.  You could even let the kids decorate one for a special gift (I would love to get one made by my kiddos… hint hint hubby) or fill them up with candies ect to use as teachers gifts.

All you need is a mug, sharpies and an oven, (yep that’s it). Make sure your mug is clean and dry before you begin. Simply draw your design onto your mug and place in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Let cool completely.

I am not an artist. Truthfully I can barely draw a stick person so it might have been a better idea for me to use a stencil or to have transferred the image on first, but I like the way it turned out.

I found the mug and sharpies at the dollar store, so the total cost for this project was just over $3.00 (you can’t beat that!).

Have you ever made a DIY mug?
