I’ve had this project planned for a looong time and finally had time to do it yesterday and I LOVE how it turned out! This is a gift for a friend and her husband this Christmas. Monogrammed Christmas hot chocolate mugs:
So quick and easy by classy looking I think?
Such a fun gift to give. I packaged it up with some Rolo cookies too and gave it all to her. I just love how it all turned out.
Monogrammed Christmas Hot Chocolate Mugs:
Supplies Needed:
Mugs (mine are from Target)
Paint (mine is Martha Stewart gloss)
Monogram stencils (again, mine are Martha’s)
All you need to do is place the stencil where you want it on the mug:
Daub your paint on:
Peel the stencil off (these are adhesive stencils I used) and you’re done. What I love about this project is that if you make a mistake, take it over to the sink and rinse the paint off immediately, dry your mug off and try again. It’s very forgiving.
Let it dry for a few days so that it is dishwasher safe.
Then I added a little bag with hot chocolate mix, marshmallows and candy cane kisses.
So cute! Bottoms up!
How does the paint fare in the dishwasher?
I haven’t tried it because I gave these away as gifts, but the container says to let it cure for 3 days and then it is dishwasher safe.
