DIY sharpie mug

DIY minimalist mug
i'm in love with this DIY.
time: 30+ minutes
difficulty level: beginner
so you can make a gorgeous mug using nothing but a sharpie marker and a bit of heat.
grab a plain stoneware or porcelain mug and your sharpie marker
draw an outline of your design and start coloring in. if you mess up, the sharpie comes off easily with baking soda, or rubbing alcohol if you have it. basically anything.
after you've got your design, pop it in the oven and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to "set" the sharpie. if you skip this step, the sharpie will come off when you wash it.
wait for it to cool completely before handling. and that's really all you need.
since you don't want the sharpie to rub off, don't put this in the dishwasher. i made a note at the bottom of mine to remind myself and others that it needs to be hand washed. gently.
and that's it!
