Personalized Plates And Mugs

This project is the greatest thing ever!  Spending three hours on Pinterest is not always a bad thing!
Buy a set of really inexpensive white Corelle dishes from Walmart.
Write some inspirational quotes directly on the dishes with a Sharpie fine point permanent marker.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake the dishes for 30 minutes and the writing becomes permanent!
I could not be more thrilled with how these turned out!  My style is very simple and classic and I have a decided preference for black and white so these are right up my alley.
I think they could be adapted for so many styles and occasions!  Give them a try!

Note: My quotes come from an amazing song called "If You Believe" by George Harrison.

  13. These look great - thanks for linking to TheStuffofSuccess Party. I have done similar things with Porcelain markers but even following the instructions the marker came off when washing (I don't have a dishwasher). I will have to try this and see if it holds up better!

  20. I followed all your instructions but the writing came off when the bowls were washed. Very disappointing as they were part of a wedding gift. Any idea why it wasn't permanent?
