Decorate Your Mug With a Sharpie To Look Like An Anthropology Mug

This is such a fun project.  

With all the fun colors that Sharpie makes, there are no limits.  This would make a great Mother's Day, or Father's Day project.  What parent wouldn't love a hand drawn mug from their child?

Here's My family decorating mugs at a family reunion:

I used an orange sharpie oil based marker and drew on a fun design.  The oil based sharpie lasts longer.  



If it's not an oil based marker it will wash off the first time you wash it.

First I drew an orange pattern all over the mug.

 Then I drew the letter "h"for Holly.  

Baked it at 350 deg. for 1 hour. 

Then I hand washed the mug and so far nothing has washed off.  I'm sure that in time it will, but the designs on store bought mugs seem to wash off with time.  I hope this works for you also.

It's that easy!

This is my version of an Anthropology mug, but you could do anything! 

Here are the mugs that my family came up with:

I would recommend hand washing it. 

Here are anthropology's versions:

Here is a simpler version that I did:
