Another idea of mine was to give the teachers and people that have known Steven for a while a mug, so today I got Steven to do he's 'art' again...
The mugs were bought from Asda at a £1.00 for a pack of 4, and the Marabu porcelain painter pens were bought from my local craft shop, I chose 4 different colours but they're were loads of colours to choose from... and only cost me £2.69 each...
The best bit is, when you oven bake them, they will become dishwasher proof, I've not sure yet if to stencil the name of the teachers and helpers on the mugs to make them more personal...

What a good idea these mugs are - and Steven certainly seems to be enjoying decorating them, bless him. They'll make lovely gifts with or without the personalisation - if you've got time, add the names, if not, they are still lovely!

Great gifts Maria and well done Steven on the art work.

p.s. I'd stencil the names on - I remember school staffrooms!!

What a fabulous idea - where do you come up with them?

thanks carole, sue and gill...xx
OK, looks like I will try and do the names, also will add a tag to the handle rather than wrap them up....
gill I tried to think of practical presents, as I know teachers will not want home made stuff from someone else's child... also Steven did clive one of those painted mugs, but when we put it in the dishwasher, he needed to do it all over again, lol... so saw these type of pens in a do-crafts mag, think you can get it in paint too.
wow lovely mugs Maria, and well done Steven decorating them, very special and lovely gifts, they will be pleased. hugs Jan xx
