If you have any old bottles of nail polish hanging around then try this project! The secret ingredient is Modge Podge Dishwasher Safe Sealer.
What you will Need:
- Plain Glossy White Mugs
- Sharpie Pen
- Nail Polish
- Tub of hot water
- Modge Podge Dishwasher Safe Sealer
Check out the video by CharlieMarieTV to create DIY customized mugs for yourself or for gifts.
Get Creative with Colors and Words!
In this video she transfers words to the mug by tracing them. You can do this or do it free hand. The marbling effect of the nail polish really makes each mug unique and customized.
She bakes the finished mug creations in a low oven to seal the designs in.
She then coats the design areas with the modge podge dishwasher safe sealer.
Note: On the bottle it says "top rack only" if you use the dishwasher.
I personally like to hand wash any decorated mug. But the sealer will give it that extra protection.
Mugs with Saying are all the Rage Right Now
You can create your very own mugs at home much cheaper.
The nail polish looks like watercolor effects when completed. You could create psychedelic designs and have fun. You could also pick up bright colors of nail polish from the Dollar Tree if you want some bright colors on the cheap.
You can get the plain white mugs online in bulk for a good price. If you gave everyone a customized mug for a gift you could save a lot of money and create keepsakes at the same time.
They will think of you every time they have their coffee!
After researching this project, I didn't realize you could get this Modge Podge is a dishwasher safe version. Good to know!
So, if you want to add color to your own mug tree, or you want to give one as a gift, then try it, I am going to give this a go today! Perfect way to use up nail polish.
