Hey work from home Moms! I love this idea for my work at home business to personalize mugs for my team & to use when doing local marketing!!! I was able to use a lot of the scrap-booking materials I already have on hand. ;-)
How many of you have seen those Sharpie DIY mugs all over Pinterest?
They say just write on your mugs with your regular Sharpie, bake and
you're done. It's the ideal way to get a personalized gift without
spending a ton.
How many of you know that the Sharpie will actually wash off in the
dishwasher? Yup. Unless you are hand washing those mugs - your
masterpiece will probably go down the drain. Even hand washing will
probably make the design go away after time. It's actually a very flawed
concept.
So after doing some research, I have discovered what does work. Oil
based paint pens! Sharpie happens to make these type of pens too and
your local craft store will probably have them in stock. I happen to
pick up mine in The Home Depot paint aisle, a few months back. They are a
bit more pricey than a regular Sharpie, but if you weigh the pros {the
whole not wasting your time for it to go down the drain} than it's
probably worth it. Invest in the right pens and grab your mugs from
Dollar Tree ;) Plus I'm sharing a really cute way to monogram those
boring mugs.
Here are the instructions thanks gluedtomycraftsblog.com !
