I keep seeing these super simple DIY mugs floating around Pinterest. You probably know the ones I'm talking about....the cute his & hers mugs. I decided to add this little project to my always growing "Pinterest To-Do List". Like with any project you find on Pinterest, there is a good chance it will fail, but for $2.....this project was worth it.
Here is how my mugs turned out! Please disregard my sloppy handwriting. How did I make them? Simple......2 dollar store mugs....doodle or write on them....and bake them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Viola'! My daughter and I are going to doodle on one and give it to her teacher for Christmas. :) These hold up well to hand washing. I think this project was a success! Dollar store, here I come!
*Do not use in the dishwasher., you may lose part of your design.
Update (Nov. 6, 2013): It's been over a year since I did this project. One mug still has the design, while the other doesn't. I blame the fact that I used a scrubby pad (whoops) on one of the mugs. Regardless, it would be easy to redo my design onto the mug in question.

Can I use some of the content from your site on mine? I will make sure to link back to it :)
Sounds easy and fun. DD has a slumber party coming up... maybe personalized mug for hot cocoa. Thanks for the idea~
