DIY sharpie mugs

DIY Sharpie mugs are super popular. You can create really cool gifts for the holidays or any special occasion! Be on the lookout for inspiration when your out and about and online.

IMPORTANT TIPS: 
1. Regular sharpie designs wash off, even if baked. 
2. You need to use oil-based markers, and bake your designs per instructions. 
3. Hand wash! Some of my designs washed away slightly in the dishwasher. Mostly where I had retraced areas!

      Thank You:) Yes, fahrenheit! I've read other people say anything between 300 and 400 degrees F.

    I just love the new fad of sharpie mugs/dishes. I really love your teapot...how cute is that? I did a tiered snack plate, but I plan on doing the coffee mugs and getting rid of all my others :)

    Thanks for sharing.

      Yes! If you use the oil based markers, and bake, they will last. Great fun for the kids. Have a blast:)

      The kids really liked them! Unfortunately the images washed off eventually since I hadn't heard about using oil based markers when I made them.

    I followed the directions for these but the paint/marker came off with the first washing :( any suggestions to fix this?

    ReplyDelete
  42. SewSweetVIntageNovember 7, 2014 at 5:10 PM

    Reg sharpie markers came off after a few washes for me. But, not the oil based! I've also had great results with Martha Stewart multi surface craft paints!
    Questions:
    Did you wash cup and dry then swab surface with alcohol and let dry prior to painting?
    Did you use oil based sharpie, the kind you have to shake?
    Did you let the cup fully dry before baking?
    Did you bake for 30 to 45 mins 350 degrees?
