Make Your Own Dishwasher-Safe Painted Mugs with a Sharpie!

DIY Sharpie Painted Mugs - That Won't Wash Away!

Sharpie-painted Coffee Mugs as Presents

Hi friends Pleased to have you visit our "Do-It-Yourself Sharpie Mug That Won't Fade In The Dishwasher" page ” post This afternoon, we'll be getting crafty with mugs.

Can you count the number of times you've seen those "DIY" mugs on Pinterest that someone has painted with a Sharpie? A practice wherein participants use ordinary Sharpie markers to decorate inexpensive ceramic souvenirs purchased at dollar stores. It's a hot ticket item for the holidays, and for good reason.

It's common for these guides to instruct readers to simply use ordinary Sharpie markers to decorate their mugs before baking them in the oven. I can't think of a better way to get a unique present without breaking the bank.

In contrast, how many of you are aware that regular Sharpie marker artwork can be removed by running it through the dishwasher? Yup Unfortunately, unless you plan to carefully handwash your DIY coffee mugs, your artistic masterpieces will likely be washed away in the dishwasher, along with all that ink.

The pattern will probably fade with time and hand washing. It's a terrible idea that's swept the web.

Nonetheless, you shouldn't be concerned. After much investigation, I found a do-it-yourself solution involving a Sharpie and a mug that really works! Pens that use oil-based paint to the rescue

These OIL-BASED paint pens are also manufactured by Sharpie and can be found at most art supply stores. A few months ago, I was browsing the paint section at Home Depot when I came across mine. They are more expensive than a standard Sharpie, but if you consider the benefits—namely, not having your work be wasted—they are likely worthwhile. Get some good pens and buy some mugs from the Dollar Tree; I'll also show you a cute way to personalize those plain ol' mugs. Were this year's Christmas gifts truly exceptional?

Below, you'll find information about whether or not your Sharpie is dishwasher safe.

In closing, I'd like to wish my crafting pals the best of luck. Don't be shy about posting photos of your finished DIY mugs on our Facebook page for us to ogle. #gluedtomycrafts

DIY Sharpie Painted Mugs Craft Supplies Needed

What You'll Need for Your Craft:

For your shopping convenience, this post incorporates Amazon affiliate links.

If you're having trouble tracking down the exact type of sticker I used in my post, consider purchasing a Cricut maker machine and chopping your own.

First place your desired sticker on the mug Next, using the Sharpie paint pen, start making small dots all around the letter sticker keep making dots all around the sticker until it's nice and full When done with the painting step, carefully remove the sticker to reveal your design

Ways to Decorate Your Cups with Paint:

  • You can use letter scrapbook stickers to create a monogram. Personalized coffee or tea mugs are now easier than ever to obtain. The letter "G" represents our family name, so I did that.
  • Make sure it's at the proper height, angle, etc. to lay as FLAT as possible on the cup The mug shouldn't have any raised edges.
  • Make a series of dots around the scrapbook sticker. To get the paint going, just follow the instructions on the marker packaging. Get a feel for how much pressure to use by practicing on some cardboard first.
  • Fill in the space around the sticker with a TON of dots once you're ready. Put in as much as possible so that no white space is visible.
  • You can embellish your first set of dots with a second color, or even more, if you'd like. By the way, if you make a huge mistake in your design, you can simply use some rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove everything.
  • When the paint is dry, remove the scrapbook sticker to reveal the mug's final design.
  • Repeat the process of using the paint pens to fix any imperfections, and if necessary, use a q-tip dampened with rubbing alcohol to fix any teeny tiny stains.
  • The baking process is up next. Turn on the fan and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put your mugs on the rake and bake them for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • After 30 minutes, turn the oven off and leave the mugs inside to cool. Mine baked for a while because I forgot about it.
  • After baking, take the dish out.
  • Purge the germs, and then fill it with your preferred drink and take a swig.
