I would think a Sharpe paint pen would be better. I also imagine baking in the oven and not washing in a dishwasher would come into play as well.
I've only ever used special paint on beer glasses that you bake when the paint is dry. I would think Pinterest would have done good pins on shares mugs, that's where I got my project from.
Don't use regular sharpies. We did those, baked in the oven and then only hand washed. The design came off very quickly.
Glad you posted this cause I've been looking for what would work better. My kids were so disappointed when the marker washed off after we followed some directions that said this would work.
They have really nice color and the designs have not washed off in the year since I made the mugs. Granted I do not have a dishwasher, but they still look good.
Oil-based sharpies are the way to go, but even after using them and baking, the design will come off with heavy scrubbing or repeated dishwasher/sanitizer use. If they are gently handwashed, the design will stay on for quite a while.
