DIY: customize a mug

So for my best friends birthday, one of the gifts I got her
are these mugs with my own doodles on it. I always
make a personal gift for someones birthday. This year I
decided to create this super easy DIY. All you need
is an ovenproof mug, markers and some creativity.
Bake it in the oven for 30 mins 175°C when you are done.
Don't wash the mugs in the dishwasher as it will wash the
markers away!

And what I like about this DIY is that you don't
need to have super talent for it, kiddish/cartoonish style are totally 
acceptable and it creates a real fun, quirky look!

 This year
is also a special year because me and my bestie are
buddies for over 10 years ^_^

You can use a pencil for extra guidelines. But if you messed up, don't panic. All you need is a scourer to rub it off. 

She likes goldfishes so I drew some for her!

 10 years of friendship c:

  32. if the dishwasher takes the marker off wouldn't simply washing the cup by hand take it off too, eventually?

    1. I'm not so sure, but I think it will and its the best you use
      a soft sponge to wash it c: Xx
