I’m going to level with you and let you in on an important crafting secret. While you might see easy DIYs making the rounds on Pinterest, a lot of them don’t always work. One in particular? That idea to use a Sharpie or a paint pen to personalize a mug. While it might be tempting to draw something onto a mug for your favorite coworker or your kid’s teacher, it’s incredibly difficult to have it last for the long haul. I don’t care how long you bake it (this is the step that’s supposed to set the ink permanently) — the marker won’t stand up to the wear and tear of actual use.
Enter a subtler, but lasting idea: glass etching. Now you might be thinking, doesn’t that only work on clear glass? Nope, you can use it on colored mugs too. It’s easy! Here’s how to personalize any mug with a pretty design or initial.
