So the most magical and most wonderful time of year is coming up. If you're like me, you're already stressing out on what to buy for your friends, family, or a special someone.. that someone being your CAT! Just kidding, some of you are probably serious about that person. :) But don't worry- I'm gonna save all that trouble for you. Today I'm laying out some easy DIY gifts you just might wanna use yourself!
DIY Mugs
First, let's talk about some DIY mugs. These are super easy to make, and there's so many different things you can do to customize them!
1. Chalkboard Mug
You will need...
- a mug
- chalkboard spray paint or paint
- painter's tape
To begin, get your mug and put your painter's tape all over the areas you don't want chalkboard paint to be applied.
Next, we're gonna put the chalkboard paint on your mug. If you have spray paint, spray the uncovered areas with the paint. If you have normal paint, apply in the uncovered areas.

And you're done!
2. Sharpie Mug
You will need...
- a mug
- sharpies
- (optional) letter stickers
Get out your mug and sharpies. Decorate your mug in any way you want to.
One idea is to draw funny noses, like a cat nose on your mug.
Another is to get letter stickers and put them on te mug. Dot around the letters, then peel off the stickers for a cool design.
When you're done with your design, pop your mug in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes to make the design permanent, and then you're finished!
3. Mani in a Jar
You will need...
- a jar
- nail polish
- (optional) ribbon
- (optional) sharpies
- (optional) a tag
Open your jar, and place your nail polish in it. Screw the lid. If you want, tie a ribbon where the lid is, put a tag and write what you want, like "Mani in a Jar!", and you could even decorate the jar with your sharpies. Super cute and easy to make!
Those are some of my DIY gift ideas! I hope you found something you might want to use! Happy Holidays!
