You may have seen some similar mugs around Pinterest or other blogs recently, but I decided to share my own experience with you. There are various instructions around the internet for using Sharpie markers to do the job, but I chose to use proper ceramic markers (since I’ve heard that Sharpies work with differing degrees of success).

No detailed instructions are really necessary, just pop into your local store to buy some white ceramic items, and get creative! I found that the designs could wipe off quite easily before they were fired (which was both a blessing and a curse), so I didn’t have to worry too much about making mistakes. Most importantly, follow the instructions for your pen. For the pens that I used, each item had to dry for 4 hours, then placed in a cold oven, heated to 160 degrees (C) for 90 minutes, and then cooled in the oven.
