16 Beautiful DIY Mug Gifts

With a few simple craft supplies and a little time, it’s easy to make a special mug for anyone in your life. All you need is a little imagination and a few things to get started.

  • A Cuppa Coffee – White ceramic or porcelain mugs are perfect for painting on, drawing on, and decorating for any occasion.
  • Keep it Clean – Painters tape is easy to cut into shapes and mask areas where you don’t want paint. It’s also good to keep a bit of rubbing alcohol (AKA isopropyl alcohol) on hand to clean up any mistakes.
  • Paint it Up – When painting on a mug, multi-surface paint or enamel paint designed for use on glass and ceramics are both great options.
  • Drawing – Adding drawings to mugs is easy to do with oil-based paint pens and permanent markers.
  • Go Big – If you’re really into decorating things, a vinyl cutting machine and a selection of vinyl are going to give you unlimited possibilities.
