His & Hers Harry Potter Mugs

I guess it's no secret that I can't live without my cup of joe in the morning. On mornings where I'm exhausted from being up all night with a baby who won't stop kicking, it's a lifesaver. On any other normal day it's a comforting ritual that I use to jump start my day. And if there is one thing I love almost as much as a good cup of coffee, it's a fancy coffee mug. I'm a hoarder. I'll admit it.
So it's kind of a surprise that I haven't made myself a custom coffee mug in a while now. Especially since I've had my silhouette since January! But I've just now jumped head first into the world of permanent and heat transfer vinyl, so now is as good a time as any to make my very own Harry Potter mugs!

Chris and I definitely don't see eye to eye on coffee (he hates it, I love it) which is good for me since I get all the yummy k-cups to myself! But during the winter he loves to relax on the couch with me and have a nice hot cup of apple cider or hot chocolate while we watch a movie. And since it's usually snowing and cold here we don't venture out a lot during the winter months. Which means it's usually the perfect time for us to hunker down with a Harry Potter movie marathon!
MATERIALS
Place contact paper over top your designs and then cut them out. Make sure you cut close to your designs without accidentally cutting the vinyl! It makes applying your design to the cup much easier.
Honestly these mugs were super easy and I am so excited about how they turned out! Even Chris was impressed and couldn't wait to use his, so I guess we'll be having some hot apple cider in the near future. I'm thinking a Harry Potter book or movie marathon is called for, especially now that I can show my HP pride with these fun Harry Potter mugs!

Cindi on Jan 08, 2016These are pretty basic designs, I think I could get the same result by drawing them on the mug with a Sharpie, then into the oven to seal it, around 300 I think. I saw it on Pinterest, and several craft sites, not sure where I put the instructions, but I have a white ceramic tea set I'm going to try it on, someday.
