DIY Sweetheart Mug Craft Supplies:

* Oil Based Sharpie Paint Pens
* Plain Ceramic Mug {Dollar Tree is great for these!}
* Stickers in desired shapes {think monograms, hearts etc.}
* Tweezers
* Tissue Paper/Small Gifts {tea, cookies, coffee pods}

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!
