diy monogram mugs by design mom

I've had my eye on these Anthropologie mugs for awhile now.  I think they make great bridesmaid and shower gifts.  I'd love to see them at each place setting for a bridal shower tea or lunch, but at $6 a mug that may not be realistic. 




The other day Design Mom featured this amazing DIY for monogrammed mugs. 



How cute are they?  I think I love them more than the Anthro ones!



Trace the font of your choice using graphite transfer paper





Outline and fill in using a porcelain pen.  Once you're satisfied, bake to set.



How great would a Mr. & Mrs. set be?


I think I'll be giving these a try as stocking stuffers.

I adore these! What a great way to repurpose thrifted mugs. I got so excited, I found mugs to gift via Crate and Barrel outlet: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/kitchen-and-food/coffee-mugs-teacups/everyday-mug/s612394

...then realized that I'm already giving out (mason jar) mugs for the wedding. Mug overkill?
