If you’ve been anywhere near Pinterest in the last few years, you must have seen these DIY Sharpie Mugs. They are all over the place in the blogosphere! I was inspired by this post, so the last time I was at Dollar Tree walking the aisles (trust me, I’m there way too often), I decided to pick up a white mug and try my hand at one of these cute mugs.

I love coffee in the morning and I love having a fun mug to drink coffee out of, so I figured this would be a perfect project for me. It really was so easy, too, and I love how you can customize the colors to your liking. And of course, the design is also completely up to you, as well. I picked the word “sip” because I thought that would be cute on my mug, but other words that would work just as well include love, smile, joy, coffee and tea. Of course you could use your name or that of a loved one. You could just scribble and make all kinds of freehand designs and shapes. The possibilities here are truly endless.

Let’s check out the tutorial now, shall we?
