Personalized mugs are so fun. You can find so many different ways online to make them, but I am here to tell you that I have found the easiest way. The best part about it is that they are dishwasher-safe and there are so many options for different personalized mugs ideas. Chalk Couture makes this process so easy that you can make enough personalized mugs for you and enough to have on hand for gifts.
Personalized Mugs Supplies:

White Coffee Mug
Rubbing Alcohol
Paper Towel/Cotton Balls
To make personalized mugs with Chalk Couture, you need to pick up a white mug. Wash the mug, and then wipe down the area where you are going to apply the transfer with rubbing alcohol. Then, dry the area well. Now, it is time to place the Chalk Couture transfers (I added the ones I used for this project in the supplies list, but you can choose so many other options. Head HERE to check them all out). Once you have the transfer on the mug, smooth it out so it is all stuck on the mug well – especially around the image itself. Once it is on, use the small squeegee to put the Chalk Couture Ink color of your choice over the transfer. After you have the transfer covered with ink, pull the transfer off the mug. If you are using one transfer, then you are done. If you are adding additional transfers, make sure the ink between each one is dry first. I use a hair dryer to speed up the process.
After you have the personalized mugs exactly how you like them, place them in a cold oven and then turn the oven on 350°. “Bake” the mugs for 35 minutes and turn the oven off. Leave the mugs inside the oven until it is fully cooled down. After this process, the personalized mugs are dishwasher-safe!

May 20, 2019 at 8:48 AMI heard the ink is not food safe so should I put transfer down low enough where people won’t get there lips on them
