Ceramic Mug Brush Lettering Calligraphy DIY

Ceramic Mug Brush Lettering Calligraphy DIY I love hand lettering and custom work on mugs!  This is a fun craft and makes a great gift too. You will need: Blank mug Edding Ceramic Brush Marker These brush pens are fantastic!  They have a great tip.  I did have some minor bleeding though.  Just write on the mug.  Use rubbing alcohol to erase with a cotton swab if necessary. Bake in the oven according to marker package instructions.  Then it's durable enough to use and wash by hand.  Don't over scrub or it will still come off.  These work great as pen holders and organizers too. Repeat the same process for all the mugs you want. I love the way the marker writes. Makes a great gift too! Fill with treats and office supplies and tie in cellophane with a big bow!  Perfect for teacher gifts or Mother's day! Like, Save, Share, Comment, Follow and Pin! Check out this one too! ...
