DIY Sharpie Coffee Mugs

For Christmas we made some people their own coffee mugs.

baileys mugs

Bailey’s coffee mugs represent something about her.  Her First name initial and confetti sharpie dots in blue, berry, and green sharpie.  Her second mug “You Are My Sunshine”, in gold metallic, is the very song I sang to her as a baby.  She still asks to this day if she is my sunshine.  I hope that she never forgets that.  She said she absolutely adored these mugs and put them right to use for Christmas brunch

We also decided to make my Father in Law and his girlfriend Diana coffee mugs.  The first they thing they do in the morning together is have coffee over the phone.  Bill showed us a picture of the word “Procaffinating”- The tendency to not start anything until you’ve had a cup of coffee.   We added their names to the opposite side of the mug.

What you will need:

Ceramic coffee mugs-any color (Bailey’s mugs are white)-Walmart $2-3

(Bill and Diana’s mugs are brown and bronze)-Walmart $3-4

white mug

Oil based sharpies-we used metallic bronze on Bill and Diana’s and Bold and gold metallic on Bailey’s
