DIY Sharpie Coffee Mugs

Sharpie is an amazing thing to use on paper, glass, plastic or anywhere you want. I always use different sharpies for sketching, drawing, coloring etc. because they are permanent, stays longer on surfaces and gives smooth finish. Sharpie comes in different colors and point sizes; I usually prefer fine point to outline something and marker to fill the color. The most amazing thing is that sharpie can be used for many creative ideas and crafts. Design your shoes, bag, belt, notebook, smartphones etc. Keep in mind that once you use it becomes hard to take it off. In today's post I will teach you how to use sharpie on coffee mugs or dishware permanently.
Use Sharpie on coffee mugs and follow a simple procedure so that it stays longer on mug. 

          For this tutorial you need:
  1. Sharpies (Oil-based)
  2. Coffee Mugs
  3. Oven
That's all you need, so simple right? One tip I want to share is that for drawing on dishware you need to have oil-based sharpies. The reason is that sometimes if you use regular sharpie the color goes away from the surface while washing your designed mug in dishwasher. That's why it's really good idea to use oil-based sharpies as it stays permanent. So let us begin with the tutorial; take coffee mug or any dishware of your choice and draw your design on its surface. Use any color of sharpie and draw on it as per your choice. Now, place your mug in the preheated oven at 350 degree and bake it for 30 minutes. That's all you need to do, and you are done. Simple trick right? I have painted and designed many cups because I can draw anything I want; moreover, you can gift it to your dear ones. Put your name on and bake it. You will get a cup with your name or add your wishes for your family and friends. Try it and share it with your friends!
