Sharpie Mug tutorial with free templates and printable

Ah the Sharpie mug.  Looks like such a fun project, and then I remember I’m not very good at drawing.  Never fear!  Here’s my nearly fool proof method for excellent ( but hand drawn looking) mugs:

For this project you will need:

Oil based Sharpies – I like the medium size the best.  They Sharpies must be oil based – not the regular ones you get in the office supply aisle.  I ordered mine off of Amazon here.

Cheap Dollar store mugs

Tape

Fleece Fun’s free printable

2 pencils 1 sharp and one dull

cookie sheet

oven

Sharpie Mug tutorial

Step 1

Wash mug so there is no residue on it.  Take the printable you desire, cut out and cover the back with pencil.  Tape to mug.  Trace the pattern onto the mug with a sharp pencil.

Step 2

Remove paper.  Trace with markers and fill in.  Wipe off the pencil

Step 3

“Cook” the mugs 425 for 45 min  and allow to cool in oven.  I like to leave mine in it overnight.

Take out mugs and give to friends with a some homemade cocoa –  you can get a recipe here.
