You will also need DecoArt Glass Paint Markers. I bought the multi color pack. These ensure that your mug will be permanently drawn on and it will not come off in the dishwasher! You will NOT achieve this with a plain Sharpie marker (trust me I’ve tried! It washes off).
Then draw your desired design on your mug. I went with leaves as it felt like Spring! Need more inspiration? Check out these other DIY mugs I did (and I’m no artist, but these are easy designs that look good).
Now to complete it you just need to allow your painted mug to dry for 8 hours. Then bake at 375 degrees for 40 min (at temp) in non-preheated oven. They will then be dishwasher safe!
Include a gift card to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® in their mug.
What is your favorite teacher gift idea?
Thank you to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® for sponsoring this conversation.
That a really thoughtful gift idea. Any teacher would love that.
This is so cute! I wonder if I could come up with a tea variation? My older son’s teacher doesn’t drink coffee (I know – gasp!) so I’m having a harder time coming up with ideas for her.
This would definitely be great for tea as well!
Cute idea for teachers who love coffee. Personally, I don’t like coffee and I am so over receiving coffee themed gifts from my music students. I know the thought is nice but…yuck.
I think coffee mugs are useful for any hot beverage and it doesn’t have to be used for coffee. I like them for hot chocolate, apple cider, tea, etc as well 🙂
My kids’ teachers are all so wonderful & really deserve a special thank-you this year. I love your printable. It would make gift giving a snap.
Those are cute gift tags.
I don’t have a favorite teacher gift, but I think that they often appreciate gift cards. The printable you have would go great with a Starbucks gift card.
What a sweet gift. The personalization makes it so much more special too.
What adorable printables Sarah! This looks like a fun way to celebrate teachers.
Thanks Jennifer!
Too cute! We live in a community with not many latte or coffee drinkers.. But this would be great for a teacher who did! 🙂
Super cute gift! love that you have the tags available to print out too.
Thanks Jasmine!
This is such a cute idea, I need to have the boychild make a few of these for his teacher.
This is such a sweet idea! I love hand made gifts! They are the kind that never grow old! And what teacher would not love a cup of coffee??
