I also stumbled upon some DIY Monogram Mugs from designmom.com.
I loved both of them, and then it hit me. Why not combine the two? And so this little gift was born:
I used a ceramic or porcelain pen to create the letters on the mug. It's hard to tell in the above picture, but it's the word "DAD". I just followed the instructions on the pen package. You can even bake the mug to make it dishwasher safe!
You can see all the letters in the collage below:
The mug was the perfect size for the bags of Reece's Pieces, so I just put them in the mugs all on their own and added this little message.
Happy Father's Day to any dad's who may be reading. I hope you have a great weekend!

Very cute! I've never heard of a ceramic pen before. Will definitely have to look this up. Thanks for sharing at Etcetorize this week~
ReplyDeleteLove these ideas! They would be great for a birthday too. My Dad's B-day is July 5th and I always have such a hard time finding something for the man who has everything. Thanks so much for sharing at Creative Thursday :)
