Make your own coffee mugs for Christmas gifts!
Christmas is a wonderful time to put your skills to the test, so why not combine the best of both worlds and make homemade coffee mugs as Christmas gifts? Everyone loves a delicious cup of Joe, and you’ll appreciate the sentiment and time it took to make these homemade Christmas gifts even more.
One of the biggest benefits of making homemade coffee mugs for Christmas gifts is that it is a gift that will be used all year long. Start by organizing a list of the people you will be making these homemade mugs for. It’s a great idea to write down unique interests or personality traits for each individual so you can work to perfectly personalize the mugs. It’s also important to remember that the gift recipient doesn’t necessarily have to be a coffee drinker because these mugs can also be used for hot chocolate or tea.
Purchase plain white mugs at a discount store, such as Wal-Mart. Don’t be intimidated by this homemade gift idea because you don’t have to be a skilled artist to create wonderful mug-shaped gifts. After that, go to a craft store and buy various supplies. It is recommended to use sponge paint, stencils and markers or porcelain paints. Another great way to personalize these blank coffee mugs is to add a picture. You can get pictures specially printed on the coffee mugs by a company that prints photos on the mugs. This is a fantastic idea for grandparents because they would love to have a picture of their youngest grandchildren on their mug every day. You can also use this fun image idea to capture a memory, such as using a picture of your local honeymoon to print on a mug and gift to your husband.
Take your time to be creative and personalize the mugs according to each individual. If you’re creating a mug for your dad, the sports fan, you might want to paint an emblem or the name of his favorite team on his mug. If your sister likes fashion and beauty, you can decorate her mug with cosmetics or fashion icons.
To complete your homemade Christmas gift, be sure to add something in the coffee mug. You can buy pounds of flavored gourmet roast coffee for the holiday season, like Egg Nog or Peppermint Patty. You can also fill the coffee cups with small accessories to give to your recipient. It would be a great idea to fill them with pens, earrings, or even candy, depending on who you’re giving the gift to.
Making a homemade Christmas gift like these coffee mugs is a wonderful way to personalize the holiday season. This is also especially helpful if you are trying to save money due to the economy and want to reduce your expenses. This is a fun and easy Christmas gift for any coffee lover in your life!
