I saw the cutest Valentine's Day love mug in Starbucks the other day and I came home with plans to make my own. This mug was so quick and simple to make and I love the way it turned out!
I used the Sharpie technique to make this mug rather than a porcelain pen like I used for my tea cup. I've heard this technique won't be dishwasher safe so I'll stick to hand-washing this mug rather than risk losing the design.
To make the love mug, I used a plain white mug {this particular mug came from Target} and vinyl stencils cut on my Silhouette.
I applied the stencils tightly to the mug and colored the spaces in with Sharpies, red for the front ampersand ...
... and black for the inside text.
I baked the mug at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then let it cool completely. Isn't it cute? It would make a great Valentine's Day gift or anniversary gift!
I've heard mixed reviews about this technique, yours are SUPER cute, would you let us know how it lasts?
