I made two Christmas gifts for my Husband this year, this mug and a knit toque, and he loved them both! It actually took him a second to realize that this one was homemade. You've probably seen this idea floating around pinterest, it's got to be one of the easiest crafts I've ever tried so there's a reason they're so popular to make. All you need is:
a cheap porceline mug (I got mine from the dollar store)
permanent markers
an oven
Doodle all over your mug. Don't be afraid to make mistakes because until the mug goes into the oven it's very easy to just wipe off. I couldn't think of anything that reminded me more of my mountain man than "the mountains are calling and I must go" so that quote was the inspiration for this mug. Bake the mug in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes then allow to cool before wrapping or using. Handwash only! Even during handwashing some of the mountain tops smeared off a bit but it was very easy to re-draw then re-bake and is holding up just fine now. :)
xo.
I've been starting to think about Christmas gifts, great to see this post, thanks!
