Sticker Letter Mug
To make a sticker letter initial mug you will need:
~ Mug (From $ store)
~ Sharpies
~ Letter Stickers
~ Rubbing Alcohol
~ Q-Tips
~ Latex Gloves
Step 1
Wipe
your dollar store mug down with rubbing alcohol and put on gloves. The
oil on fingers can make it difficult for the Sharpie to become
permanent.
Step 2
Choose
what you want your mug to say, it can be anything from your initials to
your name or even a short quote. Place your sticker letters on your mug
where you think they look best.
Step 3
Make
sure your stickers are firmly pressed down and then take your Sharpies
and place dots anywhere and everywhere. Once you are satisfied with how
it looks, peel the stickers off and make sure to clean up any mistakes
with some rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip.
Step 4
Preheat
your oven to 425 degrees. Once the oven is to the proper temp, put your
mug on a cookie sheet and place it in the oven for 45 minutes.
Step 5
After
the mug has been in the oven for 45 minutes, turn the oven off, but be
sure to not open the door! After a while, slowly crack open the door and
let the mug cool the rest of the way. If the temperature changes too
quickly your mug will crack, so be sure to be careful.
Step 6
Always hand wash your mugs to keep the design from fading or chipping, or put it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
Step 7
ENJOY! :)

I got this idea from Pinterest and
did some research on how to create this. I am not the first person to think of
this so I have no ownership.
