DIY Mugs

I'm allll about some Pinterest crafts.

So when these fun DIY mugs startin' popping up all over the Pinterest world, I wanted to

needed to try it out for myself.

Disclaimer::

There's been a whole lot of debate about this Sharpie issue. On the Pinterest craft I looked at, it said to use Sharpies and bake for 30 min at 350. 

That I did.

But I also heard that the Sharpie doesn't stay on if you run those mugs through the dishwasher. 

SO that being said... if you want to use regular Sharpies-- do it. BUT hand wash those babies. 

I recently just went out and purchased some oil-based Sharpies from Hobby Lobby to test those out (I heard those really do last through the dishwasher.) 

That's the end of my rant. 

Here's what I did::

{fun initials!}

{back of the initial mug ... that's where my university is located!}

Now it's your turn!

They're easy, quick and make the cutest gifts.
