For Mark’s birthday a couple of weeks ago I took up my Sharpies to personalize plain mugs I picked up at Goodwill for 50 cents. (Quick tip – Goodwill has tons of great glassware for super cheap!)
After learning here that I could decorate with pens and then set the design by baking, I had to try it. It was super fun to draw and color (even for a artistically challenged person like myself) because if you goof up you can just wash it off! So here’s how to make a DIY sharpie mug:
DIY Sharpie Mug
You’ll need: A plain, oven safe mug and Sharpie markers of any color. I used my bright markers, which have a pretty fine point. A thicker point would probably make it easier to fill in letters or designs.
After you finish your design, bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Hand washing is recommended!
Mark’s mug got a little extra ‘stache. It makes me giggle every time I see it. :)

Anyone else having trouble with the sharpie coming off while washing? I followed everything to a T and the sharpie is coming off totally not just a little
Can I use microwave instead of oven?
I just made one today with my friend.
Cute! For some reason everyone else’s doodles always look super good and mine always look like a cat drew it!
I had been coveting some mugs on Etsy with all these intricate designs on them and then a friend told me that they’re made with Sharpies–clearly I need to get on this project! Yours turned out so cute!
Oh how cool! I didn’t know you could use plain old Sharpies for this. Love the mustache mug :-)
This is so cute (especially the ‘stache!)! It’s definitely on my holiday gift to-do list!
Haha! How fun! That’s just another DIY on my long list of DIYs. I saw one person use those metallic oil-based sharpie paint markers. It was pretty that way too. I think yours look great and I definitely love the mustache. :)
