Add a cute festive touch to your decor with 'Christmas In A Mug'.
This project is very easy to create.
I chose white and green as my colours, but you can choose whatever colour way you like.
Let those festive Christmas vibes flow.
What I have created is a guide for you.
This project takes half an hour to DIY.
You Will Need:
A plain white coffee mug
Polystyrene (or dry florist foam)
An assortment of Christmas picks - pine, pinecones and berries.
A small ornament for the focal point
2 green and white striped pipe cleaners
Wire cutters
Hot glue gun
To Make:
Cut your polystyrene to fit the inside of the mug.
It should sit just below the lip of the mug.
Start at the back of the mug and poke the first
Christmas pick in place.
Continue placing the pine picks as shown.
Add some pinecones.I used wired bunches that I could pull apart and cut the wires with wire cutters to the length required.
This is what it should look like at this stage.
Next, add a focal ornament.
And a striped pipe cleaner around the cup.
Shape the second pipe cleaner into a heart shape.
Cut the extra length off and bend the end to make a hook.
Hook it over the pipe cleaner around the mug, and bend the heart to sit nicely.
I added a small pearl to the top of the Christmas tree ornament to hide the wire hanging loop, and a small crystal ball to the top of the tallest pine pick.
I used hot glue to do this.
Place in your Christmas decor.
Here in New Zealand, it is Summer and very hot during the festive season.
But it's on my bucket list to experience a Northern Hemisphere snowy Christmas.
