How to Write on Glass Coffee Mugs
Adding a personalized message or design to a glass coffee mug is a great way to create a unique and fun gift for a friend or family member! Here are some tips on how to write on glass coffee mugs.
Step 1: Choose Your Mug
Choose a glass coffee mug that is clear or lightly tinted. Avoid using mugs with painted designs as you won’t be able to write on them.
Step 2: Gather Your Supplies
You will need:
- Glass coffee mug
- Permanent marker
- Paper towels and rubbing alcohol
- Thin paintbrush
- Glass paint
Step 3: Clean the Mug
Clean the mug with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove any dirt and oils.
Step 4: Write with a Permanent Marker
Using a permanent marker, write your message or design on the mug. Allow the ink to dry for a few minutes. If the ink runs or is not to your satisfaction, gently wipe it away with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.
Step 5: Add Details with Glass Paint
For an added level of detail to your message, use a thin paintbrush to paint with glass paint. Allow the paint to dry and cure for 24 hours.
Step 6: Bake the Mug
Once painted, bake the mug in an oven preheated to 350°F for 30 minutes. Allow the mug to cool in the oven.
Step 7: Clean and Enjoy
Finally, clean the mug with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol and it’s ready to use!
