- 1 plain ceramic mug
- Ceramic paint markers or permanent markers
- Rubbing alcohol
- Paper towels
- Optional: Stencils, tape, gloves
Instructions
- Clean the mug thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove any grease or dust. Let it dry completely.

- Use ceramic paint markers or permanent markers to draw your design, write a message, or create patterns on the mug.
