A white or light-colored coffee mug ($1 at any dollar store)
Permanent markers and a pencil
An oven

Step 1 (Optional)- Design your cup with a pencil to give yourself an idea of what the finished cup will look like. The best part about using a pencil is that if you mess up, you can wipe it off and start over!

Step 2- Use your permanent markers to trace what you drew with the pencil. You can use as many different colors as you’d like, but make sure that they are permanent.

Step 3- After you are done designing your mug, put it in the oven at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. To avoid cracking, let the mug cool down in the oven.

After your mug is done cooling, it will probably look so good that you’ll want to keep it for yourself. The best part about these mugs are that they are so easy and inexpensive to make that you can make them for just about anyone!
