Sharpie Mug Gift Idea

I know New Year and Chirstmas are over but this idea can be used as gift for any occasion. We see a lot of Sharpie DIY mugs on Pinteres. They say you just writte/draw on them, bake and you are done. But did you know that Sharpie will actualy wash off in the dishwasher ? Even if you handwash it your masterpiece will probabbly be ruined. Markers or pens you should use are oil based paint pens. Sharpie happens to make this pens too, so i'm sure your local craft store have them in stock.

 Things you need :
1.Mug

Monogram desing-

crapbook stickers that you like and put it on the mug. Make sure it's in the place you want it to be. This step is optional. You can also freehand your desing



*Step two* 


Put dots all around sticker(Or free hand it). You don't have to do it only in one color.Add as much colors and dots as you want. If you mess up, wipe away with some rubbing alcohol on q-tip.
