Dan's Sharpie Mug Creation

Though this is not sewing related or something I made... I have to share the creation my husband made for me.  I know you've all seen the "Pinterest sharpie mug" and I found a blog that was able to wash her mug after creating, so I followed her how-to.  You can find Homemade Chic's post here.  She suggested using the oil based sharpie and then using an acrylic sealant afterwards.  I got Dan the fine tip markers off amazon for around $10 for a set of five.  I got the mug at Target.

He sat down and created this masterpiece in less than an hour!

I put it on a baking sheet in a cool oven, turned it on to 350 degrees and when the oven was preheated, baked it for 30 minutes. After that, I turned the oven off, let it cool in the oven for about 15 minutes and then took it out to cool completely.

The quote, of course, is from an episode of Parks and Recreation, said by none other than Ron Swanson.  I can't wait to enjoy all morning coffee in my new, amazing mug!

Cheers!
