It’s no secret that the mustache craze has hit like a tidal wave. Everywhere you look there are more and more projects popping up that include the mustache. Funny thing is I really am not into them myself, but someone I know wanted me to help with this set of mugs.
She had seen these on Pinterest so I saved them to a board and waited.
Low and behold Target had some stacking mugs in the same colors (minus the black) as the photo, so I pulled out my black DecoArt Glass Paint Marker and went to work making mustaches. You could use a Sharpie too!
I hadn’t used this marker before this project, but now that I have I REALLY like it. It flows nice, not too thick, not too thin, nice application. Just overall NICE. :)
You need to let them dry for 4 hours before baking. Then you just put them on a cookie sheet and place them into a cold oven. Turn the temp on to 375 F and set the timer for 40 minutes. Let cool and you’re done!
These are now permanent, you can hand wash them without removing your mustaches or place them in the dishwasher, top rack only. They would make a great gift for just about anyone.
Aren’t they cute and cool and all that jazz? I love them, and I’m not even on the mustache band wagon!
Now I can’t wait to find more things to decorate with these paint markers!

Do tell where you get the pretty mugs & the bird houses to decorate.
I never see such great items.
Thanks,

October 2, 2014 at 9:36 pmHi jean! The mugs I found at Target. The birdhouses, I’m not sure which ones you are referring to, but most likely I got them at Michaels :)

August 12, 2014 at 10:56 amHi Amanda, none of the coffee mugs mention they are oven safe,so will it be alright to bake them in the oven?
Amanda Formaro says
August 13, 2014 at 7:15 amHi Sunitha. Yes, as long as they are a ceramic type mug they should be fine. Just follow the instructions. :)

May 20, 2013 at 2:16 pmDoes anyone know where those who are “grapically challenged” might find mustache templates? My free hand is horrible due to Parkinsons.

December 19, 2012 at 6:22 pmWhen I saw the blue mug I immediately thought of a local newspaper columnist that I follow (as in reading LOL). His moustache looks exactly like that on the blue mug. I may just have to make him one for Christmas (and add his name on the mug as well)!

December 19, 2012 at 12:27 pmOoh, will have to pick up a glass paint marker, I have heard to use a porcelain marker but hadn’t heard of the glass marker. I have tried using sharpies (30 mins in the oven) and it was an epic fail, washed right off. Unfortunately I did it for my son’s birthday party…felt so bad it didn’t work. I ended up leaving 3 of them in the oven for a week through every meal cooked. It turned the colors brownish and my son was so sad. Thanks for the glass paint marker tip. Maybe we will give it another go,
