St. Patrick's Day "Lucky" Mug DIY

It's almost March!  St. Patrick's day is around the corner in all its green glory.  Do you know what else is glorious?  I found a gold metallic oil-based Sharpie the other day!!  After the fun I had with the blue paint marker that I used on my hand painted plate , I just had to have the gold, and snagged a "clover" green one too while I was at it.  Like this adorable "Lucky" mug!? It's as easy as it looks to make.  I couldn't pass up the adorable mug and spoon set when I saw it at the craft store either.  The spoon slips right into a little holder on the handle of the mug. Perfect, no? Wanna make a "Lucky" mug too?
You will need:
-Gold metallic Sharpie oil-based paint pen
-Green Sharpie oil-based paint pen
-White ceramic mug and (if desired) small ceramic spoon to match
-Letter Stencils or stickers to trace
I had some stickers laying around and they were the perfect font so I stuck them on the mug and gently traced with a pen marker (not permanent because I'll wipe it off when I'm done painting).  Then I peeled the stickers off, careful not to smear my wet trace lines...

I used the paint pens to fill in my designs and when it was dry (after about a minute) I wiped away my trace line gently with a wet rag.  
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes!


For someone like me, who isn't huge on the color green, this little set is the perfect way to bring out a little holiday flair.  It would make a great gift for any friends or coworkers who are big on St. Paddy's Day too!
