I've been wanting to design mugs as Christmas gifts for a couple years now. I finally got around to it and love the results, I can't wait to gift these! To start this project I gathered white mugs of all shapes and sizes, then I spent a small fortune on Porcelaine 150 pens. After spending a ton of time transferring designs onto the mug with graphite paper I was ready to use ...

Pinterest is just full of cute ideas for using hand prints for crafts, but almost all of them include messy paints. Making my daughter a disaster on purpose is not something I was interested in. Also, I have a wiggle worm on my hands, I know she wouldn't cooperate for anything too ...
