Movember Mug
It's that time again when all the fellas discard their Gillette Mach 3's and embrace a hairy way of life in order to raise money for charity! It's Movember, and I love to see the weird and wonderful moustaches that appear by the end of the month, whether they are big and bushy, or a bit sparse and pathetic!
It's a blessing that us girls can't take part in Movember - no girl wants to be sporting facial fuzz! However I am sponsoring several friends to grow their mo and so am happy I can do my bit! I also love all the moustache merchandise you can get these days - necklaces, hair clips, cushions, and loads more. The mo is definitely around to stay.
I saw a really cute moustache mug on etsy, but was reluctant to spend the £10-£15 they were charging, as I thought this was a little pricey! Recently I stumbled upon this diy tutorial by A Beautiful Mess, on how to do a diy mug using a sharpie
You simply draw on your mug with a sharpie and bake in the oven for 30mins at 350 degrees. I picked up a cheap plain mug from the 99p store which was actually 59p, and I already a sharpie pen. I drew on my moustache design and then popped it in the oven.
Here I am with the finished result. The moustache is a bit wonky but I like it's crooked charm! After it cooled down I tested it by washing it up with a kitchen sponge and the drawing didn't rub off! I'm excited now to try all sorts of designs, and not just on mugs. You can try this on any ceramic - plates, bowls, teapots etc! It's a great idea for personalised gifts. I might make some for Christmas.

DeleteThis is so cute! Great gift idea. I wonder if it keeps up well after washing. But I guess if it didn't you could always make something else :)
