Novelty items have always been a popular choice for gifts and giveaways but if you a bit cash strapped at the moment, instead of shopping for such kind of gifts, you may want to try making these in your very own home. One very popular item that you can easily do is mugs and these are also a lot of fun to customize and make even more special for your loved ones. Aside from photo mugs and travel mugs, you can also try your hand at creating funny coffee mugs with witty phrases or lines that can instantly brighten up someone’s day.
So how can you start with creating such kind of mugs? Well there are actually loads of ways for you to be able to go about this starting with special kits that contains all the essentials in decorating a plain mug. Such kits can be found in craft stores and one of those pottery places where people are encouraged to design their own mugs. You can also check out kits on the internet. Such kits usually contain a plain mug, different colors of paint, a brush, and possibly some stencils of the featured design. If you find such kits a bit limiting in terms of the kind of design that you would want to make for your own mugs then there you can always get the plain mugs from the pottery stores and get your own arts and crafts supplies.
If you are planning to paint on your coffee mugs from scratch, do be careful and plan the design carefully so that you don’t end up ruining the mug. You can also either use a stencil or lightly sketch your desired design on the mug so that all you have to do is just trace it with your paint and you’re already good to go. While glitters and sequins are fun add ons that can easily liven up things, these are not really best suited to be used for coffee mugs as such add ons can easily be washed off. Just paint your coffee mugs with fun colors and make sure to come up with really catch lines for your funny coffee mugs.
You can always get some inspiration from the internet or your favorite book, movie, from magazines; don’t rush into designing your mug while you are still not sure about what funny line or drawing you’d want to have on it.
As for those who are not that skilled in the arts department but are very much interested in designing cute coffee mugs for their friends and family, they can just easily have their mugs printed on for a more polished look. If your computer printer at home can do such things then you can just easily upload your desired designs then print or you can get those plastic mugs wherein there’s a special compartment that you can use to put in your printed design. For this type of mugs, it’s way easier to just check out the internet. And even though this type of mugs are a bit different and special, plastic mugs such as these are not really expensive, if you want you can even get these in bulk to get a better price.
