I bought some 32 oz. plastic travel mugs with the intent of decorating them. But I am coming to realize they may be difficult to decorate. Can anybody reccomend a painting technique that would be dishwasher durable or other craft technique that would be dishwasher durable that I could use to decorate them? I am not hugely artistic, but could do rudimentary stencils or lettering. The ability to apply paper art with a clear plastic/polyurethane covering would be fabulous.

You could use Sharpie Permanent Markers to write names, draw school mascots or inspirational quotes on the mugs. Sharpies come in a rainbow of colors now, so that should boost the creativity level.
I just sharpied a design on mugs fir Christmas. I gave them as gifts. I was told they washed off while being handwashed. That's why i'm looking up this thread.
Try coating mugs with mod podge dishwasher safe or place sharpied mugs into oven, (pre heat and cool oven down with mugs) at, I believe 425 for 30 mins.

Did you use "oil based sharpies?" The regular ones won't work.
