Have you noticed? Mustaches are everywhere! Photo booths, costumes, rubber stamps, temporary tattoos, stickers… and now mugs! These mugs are pure fun, a great gift and snap to make.

Here’s what you need:

• White mugs
• Porcelain paint and conditioner
• Contact paper
• Scissors
• Paintbrush

1. Prep the mugs with conditioner according to the manufacturers directions.

2. Fold the contact paper in half and cut out a mustache shape sized to fit on the mug.

3. Peel the contact paper off it’s backing and center on the mug, smoothing the edges to make sure the paint wont seep underneath.

4. Paint several thin coats of paint, allowing each to dry before adding the next.

5. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufactures directions before using.
