The Sharpie and Mug Pin...

 
We've all seen the pin if you take a mug draw on it with a Sharpie and bake it in the oven it will be permanent. So I went to the dollar store and bought a mug for a $1 oh how I love cheap. :)
 
 
I grabed me a sharpie out of my art supplies (my black sharpie has seemed of run away) and went to work.
 
 
I ended up spacing my words wrong but thats ok a rag and water fixed that. :)
 
 
Ahhh All Done!!

 
In the oven we go I put mine on a pan just to be safe.

 
425 degree at 30 min.

 
I put my mug in the cold oven so it could warm with the oven and I let it cool with the oven. The next morning I pulled my mug out and the top was faded.

 
:( So sad...

 
Not as sad as when I started washing it.

 
Yep I thank we can safely say baking a mug with sharpie on it doesn't make it permanent.... Let's see what pin next??
 
If you want me to test a pin don't be afaid to ask!! :)

Break Out The Champagne....

 
I saw a blog about testing pins a while back and it was very helpful. The more I thank about it the more I want to blog about testing out all the things I pin about. That’s how Pins R’ Us got started, one thought made real. I hope my blog can help you with everything from recipes , movies, and everything in between.
