This is a craft is easy enough to do with children and is fairly cheap. We made 8 mugs and spent around 30 dollars. This is also a great craft to give as a gift, we filled our mugs up with candy for our co-workers and friends (just don't tell because we haven't given it to them yet)!
Material
- Solid color ceramic mugs (we found ours at Big Lots)
- Sharpies (found out after that oil-based sharpies make the mug dishwasher safe but if you use normal sharpies you need to hand wash them)
- Sticker letters
- Oven set to 350 degrees
Directions and suggestions
1. Wash your mugs and pull off the price stickers.
2. Place the stickers where you want. We did ours kind of like a step and kept them close.
4. Work organically with the letters to create your shape. If you feel comfortable you could make shapes on purpose, like an apple, sun, leaf, or even a heart.
5. We were nervous to do the dots that weren't so close together. Carly suggested we make a "soft" circle around the letters so that way we have a guide. We aren't sure how either of us knew what that meant but we agreed that "soft" circle helped in the dots on the outside.

6. When you are done with the dots pull the stickers off.
7. Bake in the oven on 350 for 30 minutes.
