A Mug for All Seasons: Mug liners for Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
Do you need a quick, but personalized Christmas gift?
I purchased some of the insulated mugs that have a screw off section to allow placement of photos, pictures, children's drawings, etc. Then I cut out a template from a piece of watercolor paper and painted several watercolors. The one above is a "mug for all seasons" as I have interchangeable paintings for each of the seasons of the year.
Mugs can be personalized with paintings of a person's favorite subject, sport, flower, season, landscape, etc. These would make a quick Christmas gift for someone along with tucking a gift card inside to go along with their favorite activity. Even a coffee shop gift card, a few packets of hot cocoa mix or tea bags would be a fun gift to give or to receive.
When selecting your subject for painting, select a painting that can be done quickly and has bright colors to show well through the plastic cover.
There's still time before Christmas to make a special gift for someone on your list!
Watercolor tip:
Include washing instruction when you give this gift. Just in case there is the chance of a "leak" if submerged or soaked in soapy water, remove the mug liner from the cup and only wash that section. When dry, replace the liner without worrying about getting the painting wet.
Happy Painting and Merry Christmas!
