Father’s Day is on June 18th this year. It is right around the corner! Wow, how did that happen? I feel like it was just Mother’s Day yesterday. Anyways…
Gianna and Eric love doing DIY homemade gifts. Every parent knows that doesn’t always go that smooth, some end 2 hours later with a giant mess!
These adorable mugs take no time at all. They require only an oven and two other supplies: a cup and colored sharpies. That’s all folks. My kind of craft! Patience is not my strong suit. HaHa.
Here’s what you need:
We already had the sharpies. I picked up 3 mugs at my local dollar store (1 for each kid and 1 for me.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Write and color those bad boys until your hearts’ content.
What, doesn’t every family craft at 7 am dressed as Pocahontas and Albert Einstein? This is my life people, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried!
When you are happy with your creation, place the mugs on a cookie sheet. Put them in the oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, leave them in the oven to cool. And viola!
I have read a few people that said they use a special kind of sharpie or it comes off when you wash them but we used regular old sharpies and they worked just fine.
I would definitely recommend gently washing them by hand with minimal scrubbing.
