Easy DIY Travel Mug That Won’t Break the Bank

This DIY travel mug was assembled with a dollar store item, paper scraps, and Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge. It’s so easy and inexpensive to make!

Skills Required: Beginner. It helps to have experience with Mod Podge so you can apply the paper without wrinkles. Besides that, it’s relatively easy. Don’t forget to observe the required 28-day cure time!

Hi guys! It’s Ashlee from My So Called Crafty Life, and I am back to share a fun and easy DIY travel mug craft with you all today! A couple of weeks ago I saw these cute stainless mugs at Target in their “dollar” section.

You can often find these at Dollar Tree too, making these the perfect dollar store craft or inexpensive back to school or teacher appreciation gift.

I thought they would be really fun to decoupage. I have been itching to try out the Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe formula for a while now, so I thought this was a perfect project to try it out on!

This craft was really easy, fun, and took me less than an hour to whip up! I love how versatile it is too as you can easily make it your own just by the paper you use. I hope you all will give it a try sometime!
