message in a cup :: diy

does your mother drink coffee or tea?   if so, how lovely would these little message cups be for an easy gift?

i found the "markers" simple to use, although they are a bit expensive.  you can also find ceramic & porcelain  paint at the craft store that works nicely too.  read the instructions fully however because depending on what brand of marker/paint, you might have to bake the items in the oven for a bit so the paint adheres properly.

if you do this project yourself, please post pics for me to check out!
