For a quick, cheap and fun way of creating a completely unique mug, look no further!
This is a great way of adding a bit of colour to an otherwise boring piece of ceramic. It's a little messy, but the good, adult type! For those perfectionists out there, it's a bit frustrating - you will NEVER get two pieces exactly the same...but that's the fun and excitement in it! Why not create a set of mugs as a gift for that friend who loves a cuppa, or that relative who loves all things quirky? You need very few materials for this make. Everything you need can be found in any lady's house, and can be done in the adverts between TV programs - a super quick and easy craft that anyone can do (well, maybe not the kids if you don't want a beautiful new coloured floor!)

Anyone who knows me will know that I love recycling anything I can find and making it into something new. But you don't need to know me to understand what it feels like to have that 'where's the wrapping paper?!' moment when you're just about to head out for celebrations. We've all been there.
I once received a gift wrapped in pages from a National Geographic magazine, and I just thought it was amazing! Not only was it recycling (woohoo!), but I got to look at some amazing photos in the unwrapping process. It was, by far, the most exciting way I've ever received a present. Then I came across this wee idea, and thought it was so useful that I had to share it. Rather than rushing out to buy some paper, why not make your own gift bag out of things you likely already have at home? Consider it pre-loved - you loved reading the newspaper, playing the music or looking through the magazine, now you're passing it on for someone else to love too. I also love the fact that every bag you make will be different - you'll never find another the same! This really is such an easy make. All you need is a little bit of time (the half an hour before you go out is even more than enough!), some form of paper, a ruler and some glue. Simple. |
