Start by designing your mug. Use masking tape to tape off where you want to write, so you have a guide.





Put your mug in the cold oven, and THEN preheat to 425 degrees. At this time, start your timer for 30 minutes.


If you decide to make it as a gift, it is fun to fill the mug with some goodies!


Then, add mini marshmallows! The more the better…YUM!

Finish by breaking up some candy canes.


And pour your candy cane parts on the very top! It’ll add a fun Christmas touch!


Then go ahead and cut a generous piece of cellophane.

I folded mine over to give some extra volume. Set your mug in the center, and bring all the edges up top.

Secure with a ribbon or twine.

Cut the cello down to size, so it’s poufy but not too long. Cut the ends of your ribbon also.

And there you go! A perfect holiday gift they can use all year round!
