This sharpie snowman mug is easy to make and perfect to personalize. Collect your cups and make some for the whole family.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
1. Regular sharpie designs wash off, even if baked.
2. Use oil-based markers, bake designs. (many instructions on pinterest)
3. Hand wash! Even my oil based and baked designs washed away slightly in the dishwasher. Mostly where I had retraced areas!
I tucked slipper socks inside as gifts for the cousins last Christmas.
I used regular sharpies and then baked. My daughter told me the design washed off:(

DeleteCute! I hope to do the tomorrow with my grands. I bought the cups and oil-based markers today. I don't see any instructions for baking. Can you help me know at what temp and for how long?
ReplyDeleteHi! Yes, bake them even if you don't use a dishwasher!!!!!! There are two links to the bake instructions in my post. Click on Parade magazine or Guidecentral takes you to the instructions<3 If you have any problems message me again:)
DeleteSorry, I did find the baking instructions. But do they need to be baked if I don't use the dishwasher?
ReplyDeleteYes<3

ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! Happy Thanksgiving
DeleteWhat a great idea! I think my daughter and her friends would love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you<3 They would love it!!!
DeleteLOVE these! How do you get the orange color to stay orange? When I tried this over the weekend, the orange color turned a brownish purple...
ReplyDeleteThe orange shown in my photo is a regular sharpie marker:( Not great results for washing and not recommended. The color is an almost neon orange like a highlighter color. Vibrant!!!! I only found one orange in the oil based sharpies and haven't tried that. Is that what you used???? Craft paint is always an option. Use a thin tip art brush. Craft paint bakes nicely and self cures in 22 days without baking. that means don't wash or disturb design for that long:)
DeleteSo darn cute!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks Sue<3
