Cook a Mug

Something so simple, who would've thought! A lot of people, that's who. Anyways, I had to try it. How could a person not want to get a mug from the dollar store, and decorate it how ever they want? What a great gift--kids can do it for grandparents, a personalize it to give to a host, or a gift to send your deployed husband (me!). What you will need:

• Sharpie (or Sharpies)
• Mug, plate, bowl....
• An oven!

Use your Imagination. Look online at pictures. Create whatever your would like not matter how complex or simple. Its like pottery painting with permanent markers! 

Once you are done with your creation, cook it in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. Once you are done, turn the oven off, but don't open it. Leave your item(s) in the oven to cool. 

I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, but you get the gist! Fun!

I also created plates for my husband's 30th birthday, and it was such an easy project for a cheap price, but it looked so fancy! So fun. And if you DON'T like what you colored with the permanent marker, it scrubs off (before baking). Always, always, always, have fun!
