    Make cups! :)

    So I was going through Pinterest when I found this awesome idea that my SO and I just HAD to try when we both got back to our home city from college. We bought porcelain cups at Target for about $3 a piece, and grabbed some Sharpie markers...and made this! My SO made me the one that says "The same road that leads you far away...", and I wrote and drew "...will bring you back to me" and a bus...because well, we live close enough to each other to where we can just take a bus to see each other (6 hours). And because flights are 2-3 times more expensive than a bus ticket xD.



    So if you're at all interested, this is how you make them:
    1. Take a porcelain cup/plate/whatever.
    2. Grab some Sharpie markers and design your item!!
    3. Once you're done designing, take your item and put it into the oven.
    4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
    5. Let item cool in the oven...let it sit there until the oven's cooled.
    6. This item is NOT dishwasher safe!!!!!! Hand wash ONLY.

      These are very cute I just made a Harry Potter one for my sister-in-law's birthday last month and she loved it! Also gave it to her with some homemade HP coffee stencils which would be another great idea. I followed the tutorial here, though substituted the takeaway container lids for some plastic off an A4 display folder:
