I spent my day while the kids were at school making this mug. I'm almost embarrassed to say it took the entire day, but it did! I had to cut it three times before I was happy with the scoring and how it all went together. I was inspired to do this after being in the blogosphere and seeing someone who had an SVG file of a mug pocket for cocoa. I decided I wanted something a little more 3D and I just wanted to challenge myself to make it. I got the mug from Gypsy Wanderings and the rectangles and squares are from Plantin. The snowflakes are from Christmas Cheer (now there's a cart I haven't used in a while!) and the snowflake border punch is EKSuccess. Of course stickles and an irock gem added a little bling. I put a hole in the top of the cocoa packet put the ribbon through and tied a quick bow. I may add a little tag before I give it away. Here's what it looked like cut out and scored.
I'm happy with the outcome, although the scoring isn't perfect since the mug has a slight curve to it. I think I'll make more and give them to teachers this year. I'm on a tight budget so this is about my limit for spending (which was none since I had all the supplies!). Until next time...
Happy Crafting!
That cocoa mug is so cute!
