Sharpie Mugs!

Here's the method: All you need is a sharpie (any color) and a porcelain dish that you want to permanently alter. You can even use super cheap mugs from the dollar store to create gifts or party favors. Just draw on the surface of your mug and bake it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow them to cool completely before washing or using.

Pallet Art



I shopped many isles during Christmas trying to search for the perfect gift to give my dad, without crushing my wallet. I failed in finding something in store, so I decided I could make him something that had to do with his favorite football team, the Denver Broncos. Although, my family is not Denver Bronco fans, my Dad is.
I had some left over pallet boards that I would use to make him wall art of the Broncos logo. Made it the night before Christmas Eve....not too shabby. He was real pleased with gift.





Materials used:
-Boards from pallet
-Acrylic paints
-Carbon paper
-Logo printout (enlarged using publisher)
-Wood stain

Cost me $3, for the brackets I used to connect boards together.


I got a request to make a Seattle Seahawks logo... Here it is.
