________________________________
MATERIALS: mug, normal sharpie, oil based paint sharpie
OPTIONAL: stickers/stencils
*I got the oil based sharpie at a local craft store (local to Houston -it's not a chain) so I don't know what stores it is available in. Couldn't find it at Walmart or Target or Michael's (but that might just be because my Michael's is confusing). BASICALLY - best chance of finding one is ordering online!
**Also -- for reference, the Target mug is by the brand THRESHOLD. The dollar store mug did not have a brand.
________________________________
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Clean the surface of your mug
2. Draw on any design.
3. Place mugs in oven BEFORE turning it on. Set oven to 425 Fahrenheit for 30 minutes
4. Turn off oven & let it cool completely before removing the mugs.
5. Test by hand washing or running through the machine.
Enjoy!
JUST FYI: It really stinks while you're baking the mugs. Maybe this is just something that I experienced, but none of the articles I read about this project mentioned the smell. It's not too bad, but is noticeable.
________________________________
AFTER FILMING: I went back a third time with more soap and water. The P & E Mugs (Normal sharpie) continued to fade further. The J & C mugs (special sharpie) are still in great condition. I'll keep providing updates on the J & C mugs over time for anyone who is interested in long-term durability.
THE VERDICT: The idea that you can just use items that you probably already own (normal sharpie + plain mug) to create this is kind of false. If you're willing to search for the oil based paint sharpie, this can work. That said, I'm sure there are a ton of different sharpie/mug combinations (different mugs have different quality glazes) so I'm sure there are other ways to make this work. Let me know if you've tried this/what has or hasn't worked for you down below!

Nice video. I'm making these right now as bridesmaids gifts so of course I want to make sure they're legit and last forever. I got my white mugs at Walmart. Walmart didn't have the oil-based sharpies so I went to Michael's and I asked one of the girls there about this project and she said the oil-based sharpie doesn't work as well as an actual ceramic oil-based paint marker and she said lots of people have come in saying even the oil-based sharpie didn't hold up in the long run. So I got the ceramic oil-based paint markers instead. The brand is "DecoArt" and on the package it says they're meant for glass, tile, and glazed ceramics (aka mugs). Another thing I just thought of tonight is if there's a way to protect the mug even more by spraying a clear glossy acrylic sealant over it and sure enough I did find an article on Google about this. Hope this helps someone! I think these steps will ensure success.

@karenescalera8193 6 лет назад

Carla Turner was wondering about a sealer coat. Thanks for the tests.

@haninshami1972 6 лет назад

I didn't understand anything what the video talks about help me plz

@SairinWolf 6 лет назад

The oil base sharpie in Walmart are in the hand craft section. That's where I got mine.

@giraldamachuca5666 5 лет назад

Hi Carla! may you please tell me what ''clear glossy acrylic sealant'' did you use? I see your comment is from 4 yrs ago but you made that for bridesmaids gifts so it was special moment and maybe you still remember haha. I'm starting a little project and I wanna make sure my art lasts! I would appreciate it! :)

@nellyklassen9430 4 года назад

Carla Alexander I’m actually using this idea for my bridesmaids gifts as well!!

@CreationsbyKimberly 7 лет назад

Just a few weeks ago I started designing my own mugs and in my research the oil based sharpies were used the most, were most successful in lasting longer, able to be put in the dishwasher and microwave. This was a great tutorial. It's a blast!

@natasharadinow 9 лет назад

I'm actually glad i watched this before i started making my own because i was about to make the DIY sharpie mug as a christmas gift and now that i see the normal sharpie failed i need to get the oil based one. Thanks for doing this video it helped me a lot :)

@SugoiTravelReviews 7 лет назад

Thank you for changing the most important variables of this experiment (the mugs and the sharpies) because most people just try it once, with one mug type and one sharpie type, then either give it a pass or fail. You, my friend, have stuck to the scientific method and did the world much good. You also gave it a full test (doing both dishwasher washing and handwash). My only question now is how long do the oil-based sharpie mugs hold after MULTIPLE washes. Guess that's something I'll have to find out :)

@ilovepizzacake123 9 лет назад

I really like this video and the whole idea behind the Pinterest Truth or Fail! One thing I thought I'd mention though is even the oil-based sharpies don't hold up in the long run. Mine, too, held up for the first couple rounds through the dishwasher, but by the fifth or sixth time, the ink was starting to fade. Not entirely sure about handwashing, but still, I wouldn't recommend this project as a gift to anyone else.

@JasmineRossol 8 лет назад

You're AMAZING! I was thinking about DIYing mugs for Christmas gifts and a video this year. Would have been crap presents without this video haha thank you :)

@LauraNeuzeth 10 лет назад

I was skeptical about this project too. My mom wanted to do this project as Christmas gifts for all her siblings (she has 10 of them) and now I know that she'll need the oil based Sharpie instead of the regular Sharpies. Thank you so much for this video!

@jillhbaudhaan 10 лет назад

i love the twisty handle, dollar store, huh, who knew

@geraldinebecher7702 5 лет назад

I love the Dollar store mug style. Thank you for doing the demo with both types of markers.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I've gotten a few requests for tinted mason jars so I'll definitely try to come up with a DIY mason jar tutorial soon.

@joogy49 9 лет назад

Finally a video that tests them properly instead of claiming to be "dishwasher safe" without actually putting them in the dishwasher. Kudos!

@Dieverdog 9 лет назад

Thanks for sharing this! This was EXACTLY what I wanted to know. I did some regular Sharpie decorated mugs last year but realized they weren't holding up well so I didn't give them out as gifts. I now have the oil based Sharpies so I can give it another go this year. I also like that you tried out different mugs because I was wondering about that, too. Thanks again.

@simpleDIYs 9 лет назад

I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your next round of mugs!

@nilibendavid3016 9 лет назад

simpleDIYs i just made the mugs with the normal sharpie and thought this could be a great gift for my mom for christmas. Now I see that it is a mess:(

@shirleysmith6157 7 лет назад

Dieverdog hi Jim

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

If you haven't seen Episode 1 & 2 of this series, check out the playlist. Will definitely be filming an Episode 4 soon! :) Stay tuned.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Thanks for the heads up! I was able to find mine at a local craft store but had trouble finding any in places like Walmart. Ordering online is probably the best bet!

@vidskitkid 8 лет назад

Every other tutorial I've seen on this topic says DO NOT wash in a dishwasher but hand wash ONLY as Kali Stanland said below! It was, however, an interesting experiment. Thanks for doing it and posting the results.

@Carolyn_Burt 9 лет назад

Thank you for clearing that up for everyone! Common confusion for many DIYS

@iivv_nn 9 лет назад

This is bad news for my sharpie painted car.

@ying520 8 лет назад

Don't worry, just avoid car/jet washes and use a cloth or something soft instead because in the dishwasher I suppose everything's submerged in water (idk because I don't have one) and probably put under extreme pressure like a jet wash. Or you could search for some type of sealer that could seal in your design. I'm not sure if there's such thing though :)

@chinobification 9 лет назад

Really nice dollar store mugs😉 The whole curve thing is gorgeous!! 👏

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I've definitely seen that pin before. I'll look into it.

@stephaniesanderson7970 8 лет назад

What a great idea for a video series! Can't wait for #4!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I've seen both of those! And I think both are awesome. Will definitely try to pick at least one of those to do soon.

@drewg.4779 10 лет назад

Really glad that I saw this, I was planning to make a bunch as gifts.

@PJSinohin 7 лет назад

just observed how you scrubbed the special sharpie mugs, seems that you scrubbed lightly. i can tell by the way you hold the scrubbing brush. 3:22 vs 3:29:(

@Esha911 5 лет назад

PJ Sinohin I noticed that too

@kauri1615 4 года назад

Yeah, it looks like she barely grazed it.

@faha2607 4 года назад

true

@mcearl8073 3 года назад

She’s definitely being paid off by the big oil sharpie industry.

@mysticalnite79 10 лет назад

The faded letters on the fail ones actually look good! Kinda distressed and grungy. Loved this!

@ChiiSan09 8 лет назад

guys.. they are more permanent then regular sharpies, so they will be stored, usually the same way spray paint is. behind the counter or locked up. Walmart has them open in store and theyre off brand back by the craft/paint/sewing items. joanns has them up front only. Michaels can have them locked up with the copic/instax cams.

@sholaking5027 3 года назад

Thanks for mentioning that the mugs need to be put in the oven before you heat it up and leave them to cool in there after as well. This will make a world of difference when I try this out myself ✨

@ciscoaq2893 9 лет назад

I watched a few from different ppl but your video was by far best most explanatory and exactly what i wanted to know which would work best. Great job!!! Impressive. Thumbs up.

@TheVegetarianBaker 9 лет назад

really awesome series idea. I was thinking about doing something like this, but since I'm a cooking channel, I was going to test out the food tips that Pinterest gives. simpleDIYs

@macrameschool 10 лет назад

I love your ideas !!! Simple and fun :)

@EMAZINGLY10 10 лет назад

Love these pintrest truth or fail videos! Keep it up!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I know that you can for sure find them online. I'd guess that Hobby Lobby might have them or any other specialty craft stores in your area.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

And I absolutely love making these kinds of videos!

@nicoles4357 8 лет назад

most sites and videos say to wait 72 hrs before using them and you have to hand wash them or use the soft side of a sponge. you can also buy sealing spray to have them last longer

@kirkwolfrom7265 Год назад

Thank you for doing this awesome test! I'm about to try this with a sculptural cocktail mug I recently was able to ask the artist to sign so this video was incredibly helpful.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Soon! :) Stay tuned!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Of course!

@judichristopher4604 6 лет назад

You have no idea how much I appreciate this video... I am just about to start crafting for real (to sell painted mugs) and I had just seen another video on this topic which she had used:: Deco Color Foil Marker and (same brand) glass paint for ceramics... The oil based pens were better... I always bake my cups at 350* for 30 min. Thank YOU so much for sharing this video/tutorial... great job.

@stephanie2863 4 года назад

The only DIY article I’ve read, before I found this video, was from popsugar.com. In addition to recommending the oil-based marker (though I agree-Why not get the DecorArt ones designed for such a purpose?), she also lists in her instruction steps letting the ink dry for several hours before putting the mugs in the oven. Does this step matter? Who knows? But just wanted to add that.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

They were letter stickers from Michael's. The brand is "Momenta." Good luck!

@kayleebee319 10 лет назад

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT WHEN YOU MAKE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS

@liisivaltin58 9 лет назад

i love the calm voice in these videos so much? and i like the theme of testing pins for whether theyre doable, which threadbanger does too, but theyre so aggressive and weird about it and not very thorough, unlike these videos. ♥

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Since I didn't test the difference b/w 1 and 2 layers, I'm not exactly sure. I'd imagine that it would still work BUT I always like making sure that something will be durable and since it didn't take longer than a minute or two to go over the original design, I just did it to be sure.

@riejohnson4637 10 лет назад

i love those dollar store mugs! i thought those were the expensive ones!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Thanks for the commenting! I appreciate the feedback :)

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I posted a wire bow ring tutorial awhile back. You can find it in the jewelry playlist!

@makiandcamille 10 лет назад

We really like these types of videos! Please do more like this

@katrinawhitlock3224 8 лет назад

:) Very Good. Just starting this project and you answered my questions saving me all the trial and error. I had a feeling the oil based sharpie was necessary.

@lpcookie1 4 года назад

I loved your idea of using stickers to trace instead of using stencils, as it's a bit easier. Ty😊

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Exactly! I'm going to redo the failed mugs with oil based sharpie and give them out as gifts!

@bhandari_krishna 4 года назад

You have given gift to any one

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

For sure!

@MsSassyMT 10 лет назад

Very cool. I didn't even know about the oil-based Sharpie.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

They definitely make all the difference!

@gcap2793 8 лет назад

Thank you for sharing!! I just purchased a few mugs and normal Sharpies. Now I know I need to get oil based Sharpies. Thanks again!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I'll definitely do a search for that one!

@Axeo19 10 лет назад

We've tried a few pintrest things and most aren't that great lol. Would love to see this be a series for pintrest projects :)

@Marianis2305 5 лет назад

Oh my god this video is top notch. So many useful tests!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Oh no! Maybe try to get your hands on an oil based sharpie and try to go over the design?

@kajalgpt 8 лет назад

thanks a lot for this video. i was out n about today searching for oil paint sharpies for my xmas gift and found them no where. almost decided to use regular sharpie and so glad i didn't.

@vintagelvr4381 3 года назад

absolutely excellent video. easy to understand and answered all my questions regarding making these. Great job!

@stonedthought 5 лет назад

I like ur video style and ur voice is soothing and easy to listen to. Good stuff.

@hanar1060 10 лет назад

If you make a sharpie mug with normal sharpie, you can hand wash it with a normal washing up sponge and not a stiff brush. It'll probably hold out a lot better.

@chantellebannister 10 лет назад

This worked a lot different than I thought it would. Thanks for uploading!

@samanthamarie1525 9 лет назад

With regular sharpie you have to clean the surface off with rubbing alcohol but if u use different colors they will change colors a little I did mine and I worked but I got my mug from Micheals

@lowwastewitch7969 8 лет назад

using Dishwasher safe mod podge helps a lot. that's what i had to out on it to make the Sharpe stay on a million times better.

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

That's a good way to look at it!

@kittykatbilbo 10 лет назад

Thank you for doing this! I wanted to do a project like this on a full tea set but I really didn't want to waste Sharpie ink or my time doing something that wouldn't last! :) It helps a ton to have the information you provided!

@FrostyFoxy14 4 года назад

Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!! I have been wanting to do this for a while and didn't want to test what works!!!! You tested everything I needed to know the answer to and you gained a subscriber!

@goofyloopies 9 лет назад

Thank you so much. I tried the regular perm sharpies on the dollar store plates. They were somewhat streaky. I baked at 350 for 30 minutes. Colors changed and they were not as vibrant. I will get some oil based and see how that works. I really love the idea but I want it to be a lasting project. Thanks Bunches~

@XxNeonWolfxX41 9 лет назад

get one of those make your own mug kid things. they're mugs with slots for paper that you can draw on.

@mckenna8663 9 лет назад

Every science teacher your ever had is smiling at this minute. (Not trying to be funny - I'm teacher, as well). Very good experiment - and cool insight. Thanks By the way - check out a blog called "Pinterest, are you drunk?" to find a lot of Pinterest fails. Very funny

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

I can't guarantee that because I haven't tried a ton of different mugs, but yes - that seems to be the case. (After doing a lot of research on this, it seems that cheaper mugs are the best to use because they have less of a glaze on them so it's easier for the design to penetrate the surface. That might be getting too technical but basically the point is -- get a cheap mug!)

@wiggykitty 9 лет назад

You we're suppose to rub the mug with nail polish remover or vinegar so it could take of the oils in ths mug for the Sharpie to stay on

@ChristinaQueenHeart 6 лет назад

Those dollar store mugs had a cute handle 😲!

@ravenclawmichelle669 6 лет назад

Every video lies but this is exactly what I needed

@Nafretiti85 7 лет назад

I bought dollar store mugs today actually and then the oil based sharpies which are just like the paint ones kind of that are made for glass. Joann here in Michigan has them, and or hobby lobby/michaels. Yes they are a little bit more expensive but for good reason, but I can easily make my money back and profit.

@honestlady5157 8 лет назад

Very nice.. can I bake and use these on tiles ? I'm going to make a coster

@grettasaied 2 года назад

I've always wanted to try this pin but was skeptical because of the mixed reviews. I don't normally comment but u love all of your vids. Keep them coming.

@arpilclark1 10 лет назад

Really good to know! Wanted to do this with my normal sharpies now glad I didn't!

@luzcastillo6028 2 года назад

Wow. Thanks for the testing…Save me the trial and error.

@dancegreen333 10 лет назад

This is really detailed. I like it.

@OurWildLife 10 лет назад

I used oil based on mugs as Christmas gifts last year... They did NOT hold up :( Best bet is to just use the proper paints! I tried one with the proper paints and it holds up in the dishwasher :) If your giving them as gifts you don't want your designs to dispear.

@firewordsparkler 10 лет назад

What kind of paints did you use?

@OurWildLife 10 лет назад

I cant remember the name, but they were from Micheals. You also had to heat set them in the oven. Only problem was that it was super thick and hard to make clean lines!

@ijustwanttocomment21 9 лет назад

firewordsparkler I did this project too! If you get special ceramic paint (they come in paint markers) you can do this project no problem! It lasts FOREVER. The only thing is that ceramic paint markers have to dry for 24 hours before you bake them and then they need another 24 hours before you wash them. You can buy them online!

@firewordsparkler 9 лет назад

Thanks!! That's so helpful. I'll try that next time :)

@maddie5310 9 лет назад

Natalie Schweitzer I'm planning on doing this for a Christmas present. So I should paint the design with ceramic or porcelain paint markers, let it dry for 24 hours, bake, then wait 24 hours to wash, correct? Should I bake them the same way I would bake these sharpies ones?

@Stonesand_bones 9 лет назад

Look on amazon for the paints, really easy and you get a decent deal too!

@renatamolina689 10 лет назад

i've always wanted to try this! I think it would make a great birthday or christmas present, thanks!

@simpleDIYs 10 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@sashaayers-itabashi3781 2 года назад

Oh my god! Thank you so much! This helped so much and now I know what to buy!

@pallas6815 10 лет назад

Awesome video; thanks! I was wanting to try this out & now you've got me feeling more hopeful. As long as I get that special paint sharper. Thanks again & keep up these fun pintrest videos please! =)

@brandyfinley4957 3 года назад

@ndeedee4480 7 лет назад

You don't need a special fancy oil based sharpie you can use any type of paint marker that is used to cook on glass you can find them in almost any craft store!! Just saying and btw the glass paint markers are a bit cheaper too
