His + Her Sharpie Mug DIY
Hi readers! Happy Thursday and welcome to the August edition of our monthly DIY Feature! I was perusing some of my favorite blogs and came across this sweet DIY post on A Beautiful Mess! Have you seen this blog? These ladies are way cool and super talented. We sure appreciate them letting us share this fun idea on our blog!
All photographs on this blog post are brought to you by the talented folks at A Beautiful Mess.
Making fun His + Her personalized mugs can be as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Start off with a permanent marker & non-decorative porcelain mug that you want to permanently alter. (I really dug the handles on these!)
2. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 Degrees Fahrenheit. Don’t forget your mitt when taking out of the oven!!
3. Let cool completely before washing or using.
Then, enjoy! (My favorite red lipstick) :)
*Editors note: Some have found after using Sharpie markers, that the designs have washed off over time. Pebeo markers are a bit pricier, but are made to be applied on porcelain.

super cute and just an adorable idea for a fun couple!!
Such a wonderful idea, very cool!!!!
Oh I think I will do this for my son and daughter in law. They are having a wedding next month and this would be too cute. Yes she is already my dil and they are having a wedding, They secretly eloped a few months ago. Well not so secret anymore but still having a wedding.
Cool idea… thanks for the tips on the different markers.
Great idea! Wish I had a beautiful handwriting.
I love these! I have made one, myself, and it turned out SUPER cute!!! They are so simple and totally fun!
I don’t drink coffee or tea but I have family who does and I think filling a mug with coffee beans or gift card to a coffee shop would make a super cute gift too!
I love these personalized mugs! I would love to make a set of mugs (let’s say 6) with special life quotes so as to pick each day the one that express us more! I think that it would be a nice gift to friends too! :-)
If you’re going to decorate something that you want to use – you should spend enough so that the decoration will stand the test of time. Great idea for the cups.
So cool! Such a clever idea! Thanks for sharing!
