Pinned It and Did It

Today for my Pinned It and Did It I embarked on a little DIY project.
A friend of mine gave me 2 plain white latte mugs and I wanted to "fancy" them up a bit.
My idea came from these two pins.

I love the look of the gold and the Hey Ya'll statement,

 but I didn't want the hassle of the glitter

 even though I do love glitter.

I got my supplies:

 mugs, dishwasher proof gold paint, a paint brush 

and painter's tape.

Honestly, 

the hardest thing about this project was trying to

 wrap the tape evenly around the mugs.

I needed 2 coats of paint and maybe could have even added a third.  

  I let my paint dry for about 30 minutes between coats.

I got out my trusty black sharpie for the writing and then baked my mugs so they would be dishwasher safe.

 I let the mugs dry for an hour before putting into the oven

 and then preheated the oven at 350 degrees. 

 I let the mugs "bake" for 30 min,

 turned off the oven and let the mugs cool down. 

 I let them sit for 3 days before using.

I think my two mugs turned out pretty cute and the cost was minimal.
