#sharpie diy

I still haven't found any markers that work on ceramics such as mugs or plates. D: I'm sure they exist somewhere. I do have sharpies but I've been told they just wipe straight off even after having been in the oven?

Anyone make a sharpie mug?

My friends wedding is coming up and i wanted to make her a set of mugs. Im going my research and everything says to use oil based but I dont have the money for those right now. Any tips on making them last longer? I've heard wiping them off first, going over the design again, letting them dry for 24rs hrs before baking, using cheaper mugs, upping the heat to 350-400 and baking for 20-30 mins, starting with a cold oven and letting them cool in the oven overnight. Any tips will help thank you.

DIY: Sharpie Mugs!

A lovely pair of my friends got engaged last year and are gearing up for a beautiful wedding in Maine this Spring. It's my personal belief that because weddings are inSANEly expensive, there should be numerous celebrations/weddings/champagne drinking leading up to the big day. So to celebrate this particular couple, who have taken on the two superhero names of Lady Bird and Mr. Johnson, I decided I'd whip them up two sharpie mugs to honor those names.

This is super easy. Here's what you need: 1. A black Sharpie *Note: I've done this with color sharpies before and the color become warped when cooked. So I kept it simple and stuck with black. 2. Two mugs. I love these mugs from Crate and Barrel but any light colored mugs will do. 3. An oven!

Step 1: Draw your design Hint: If you're worried about messing up your drawing I'd recommend practicing with a dry erase marker first. That way you can at least get accustomed to drawing on a circular surface.

Step 2: Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Drink some coffee! Maybe add some Bailey's. But I'll leave that to you.

Enjoy!
