In this blog post, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions on how to create your own personalized coffee mug with a state design. Whether you’re looking for a way to showcase your home state or want to create a gift for someone special, this DIY project is perfect for anyone who loves coffee and creativity. So, grab your favorite mug, some paint markers, and let’s get started!

DIY Coffee Mug With State

Here’s a great tutorial for a DIY coffe mug with your state on it.  I have loved looking at all of the DIY coffee mugs out there and wanted to do my own.  I have also loved all of the projects i’ve seen that incorporate using the state you live in.  So, I thought what better way to incorporate the two.

Before we get into the tutorial, I wanted to let you know that I went the porcelain paint route.  This seemed to be a more fool proof way.  I looked into using the Sharpie marker technique for the mugs. However, there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews out there about whether or not the Sharpie marker truly lasts.  I wanted to make sure my results and all of my hard work were going to last and not immediately come off, so I went with the porcelain paint route.

Here’s What You Need:

supplies
  • Porcelain Coffee Mug
  • Pebeo Porcelain 150 Paint Marker 0.7
  • Pebeo Procelain Chalkboard Black Paint
  • Photo copy outline of the state you choose.  I did shrink mine to fit.
  • Washi Tape/Electrical Tape
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors

Step 1:

mug with state

Shrink your state to fit your mug.  You can use a copy machine to reduce the size of your state so it fits on the mug just right or scale your state image before printing it.  Cut the state out.  Tape it onto the mug.  I used Washi tape because it peels off easily and doesn’t leave a sticky residue.   I also considered where the state would be located on the mug when I was actually drinking coffee.  Personally, I like having the design face away from me so people can see it while your drinking coffee.

Step 2:

traced state

Trace the shape of the state with the fine point (0.7) porcelain marker.  Let dry for a couple of minutes.  If you make a mistake while tracing, use a wipey.  This will take off the porcelain paint.

Step 3:

painting the mug

Fill in the state with the porcelain paint.  Let dry over night.

Step 5:

Go back in with a paper clip and etch out a heart (or any other shape) where you want it to be. I put my heart where Los Angeles is located within the state of California.  If you make it too large, you can always go back in with the porcelain paint  or the porcelain pen and make corrections.  Follow the baking instruction on the bottle.  Bake your mug.

There you have it!  It’s so simple.  Have fun personalizing you favorite state on a mug.  This would make a great gift for any occasion.

Enjoy!

Creating your own DIY coffee mug with a state design is a fun and easy project that can add a personal touch to your morning routine. With just a few simple materials and some creativity, you can make a custom mug that reflects your love for your home state or a favorite travel destination. Whether you choose to use paint, vinyl, or other materials, the possibilities for customization are endless. So why not give it a try and let us know in the comments how your DIY coffee mug turned out? We’d love to hear about your experience and see pictures of your finished product!

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the perfect coffee mug?

Double-walled mugs frequently hold heat better than single walled, as they give a layer of insulation. Ceramic and glass retain heat better than plastic as well. Finally, a mug with a broader body than mouth will help keep your coffee a bit hotter too!

What is used to make coffee mugs?

Since ceramic is a sturdy substance that won’t melt when in touch with hot soup, cocoa, tea, or coffee, coffee mugs are typically made of this material. Mugs can also be made out of metal, glass, or copper, however these are usually used for cold alcoholic beverages.

What are most coffee mugs made of?
