Step 1: Go online, to Google Images. Find a photo of the state (Or countries) that you're wanting to incorporate. For this set, I made Charlotte  North Carolina and Embu, Kenya. 

Print out the states. They should be no larger than 3" wide x 2" tall. If they're more of a square shape, I suggest making them 3"x3".

Cut out the shapes to create little stencils. 


Tape the stencils to the mugs. Trace with pens.
HINT*** If you mess up or just want to start over, the permanent marker will come off easily with baby wipes -OR- Finger Nail Polish Remover and a q-tip!

Step 2: Add a little heart (or star) where your city of choice is! Then, make little ------- lines to show the journey from one place to the other! 


Step 3: Bake your mugs at 350* for EXACTLY 30 minutes. 
Allow to completely cool off before you touch them. :)  



B O N U S:
Here's a Care Instructions download! Simply print it out and cut in to 2"x3" cards. Include a card with each mug you make!
