DIY Painted Sweetheart Mugs Craft Supplies Needed

We are sharing an EASY way to make your own DIY Sweetheart Mugs with simple steps & supplies! Then fill with treats for a special someone!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First prep the surface of your mugs. You will want to wash them with dish soap and dry thoroughly with a soft, lint free cloth. It is VERY important that the surface is clean and free of any fingerprints.
  • Next is the designing part. Place your heart sticker directly on the mug, making sure all the edges are down completely and smooth.
  • Now grab your paint pens. Follow the directions on the marker packaging to get the paint going. Once ready, start filling in the area around the sticker with dots, really making sure to fill in the area. Add a second color if you like. If you mess up, wipe away with some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip.
  • Once you are done with your design, carefully remove the sticker from the mug with some tweezers and add any touch-ups you may need.
  • Place your finished mug in a cool oven before turning on the heat. Turn oven on to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes. Allow ceramic to completely cool in oven before handling. To avoid cracking when baking, let ceramic heat up and cool down with the oven. I left mine in the oven for a few hours.
  • Once completely cool, remove your piece from the oven and stuff with some goodies & tissue paper.
  • Then gift away your customized DIY Sweetheart Mug piece to a special friend, family member or even a complete stranger!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
