Mug Pots

Those cute Sharpie projects on Pinterest caught my eye when I was looking for Master Gardener fundraiser ideas. My committee and I need to produce lots of cute and affordable garden-related items for an upcoming event.

I bought white Dollar Store mugs and used my oil-based Sharpie pen to draw faces on them.





After drawing, I set the mugs in a cool oven and set it to 300 degrees. After 20 minutes, I turned off the oven and let the mugs cool before removing. This is to set your design on the mug.





Plant divisions are great for these little planters. Just fill with good potting soil, plant a spider plant baby and water. Remember, these do not have drainage holes and water sparingly!
Have fun! I am making lots more, and maybe vases .... and bowls ..... and ....
