Just because you were not born a redhead does not mean you can’t pretend to be one on St. Patrick’s Day this year.

Irish coffee never tasted so good as it does from this easy-to-make mug.

Supplies

  • White mug
  • Oil-based orange Sharpie marker
  • Oven

The key to this whole DIY project is to use an oil-based Sharpie, not a plain one. Pinterest fail, after a Pinterest fail picture taught me this lesson.

Luckily, oil-based Sharpies are easy to find and come in any color of the rainbow - including orange.

Instructions

  • Draw the outline of a beard on your mug. You want the size to be to scale. Also you want the placement of the beard on the mug to be that it gives the illusion that the person drinking from the mug has a beard.
  • Once you have your outline, color in the beard. Feel free to make the beard curly, scraggly, patchy. It’s your beard, do whatcha you wanna do.
  • Next, bake your mug at 350 for 30 minutes. This sets the paint in place so that it will not wash off.

    Drink from your new mug, sport a beard and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day searching for rainbows and pots of gold with a crafty caffeine buzz.
