I use older coffee mugs for

Submitted by Shan-Oh on January 24, 2008 - 12:18.

I use older coffee mugs for paint pots, but I prefer them to have white interiors so I can clearly see the colors as I mix them.

Since I live in Alaska I often give Alaskan themed ones that I receive as gifts on to out of state relatives when they visit. They like having a bit of Alaskana that's useful too!

BTW, I like the herb pot idea, but I'd drill a drainge hole in the bottom of the cupe with a ceramic drill first to avoid drowning the herbs. It's easy to do with a cordless drill, the right bit and a piece of masking tape (to keep the mug from cracking while drilling). Of course, you won't be able to use the mug for drinking again :)
