I really couldn’t live without my Reisenthal Travel Tote, it folds up in a suitcase as a the perfect backup for shopping excursions or in our case gift shlepping trips. We wanted to try to glitz things up a bit and inspired by the applique sweatshirts of a recent #instafav, Bow and Drape, we decided to DIY our travel tote with some sequin letter appliques.
All you need are some Glitter Sequin Appliques & some Fabric Adhesic.
I decided to test out all of the DIY Sharpie Mugs I’ve been seeing on Pinterest lately for one of our lovely Gift Insider colleagues. Â I’m always a little hesitant to try out handwritten crafts, because I’ve never been very fond of my penmenship and was worried it might turn out like a middle school art project…
But, with a little out of the box thinking I figured out a way… I used stickers as stencils to make amost perfect letters.
How to Make a DIY Sharpie Mug (w/ stickers)
1. Place the letter stickers on clean mug and trace around with a sharpie (I used silver since i loved the look with the Spring Starbucks cups)
2. Place mug in the oven (do not pre-heart) and heat up to 350 for 30 minutes
3. Take out of oven, let cool, take off stickers and you’ll have perfect letters and a totally customized mug
