Homemade Coffee Mugs
G
randparents Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate those awesome grandparents than a homemade coffee mug from your crew! Add a side of their favorite coffee beans and you are all set!
Step one: Decide on the pattern for your mug. We chose to do names, as well as some freehand designs. Step two: If using stickers, place stickers onto your mug. Step three: Color your mug. Step four: Allow to air dry. Step five: Remove stickers. Step six: With adult supervision, bake mugs on a cookie sheet at 350
degrees for 30 minutes. Allow to cool on cookie sheet.
TIP: If you have any sticky residue from the stickers on the mug, use a baby wipe to clean the sticky off. But be careful—the baby wipe will also take off the Sharpie prior to baking.
