DIY His & Her Mugs


I picked up a Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Pen after seeing so many DIY ceramic cup plate and platter projects popping up on Pinterest a while back. We had some plain white mugs laying around from a set of dishware we got for the new house. Everything was made in the USA expect for the mugs. They were made in China (of course). We decided that we would donate the mugs. We didn't really need them anyways.. A light bulb went off in my head! I can draw on them and give them as newlywed His & Her gift sets!



I drew sweet messages and let them sit for 72 hours, then baked them for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Leave the mugs to sit in the oven to cool down gradually to room temperature. Then they are ready to gift or start using! They would make great engagement announcement photos too.

DIY Wedding Day Survival Kit



My sister just had a bridal shower. I have been in the wedding industry since last June, and I was completely stumped as to what you get a girl for a bridal shower! I even 'googled' what to get someone for a bridal shower as compared to a wedding gift. Is it supposed to be expensive? Is it for the couple? Is it a naughty girl party? I talked with my coworker about ideas.. She said bridal shower gifts are not a big deal, I wouldn't stress it. My first thought, and response was, "It is called a shower! It is completely focused around her sitting down and opening gifts!" I am working two jobs.. I am very tight on time. I am spinning around in circles! My imagination goes wild but what do I have time for? I knew I had to incorporate my shop somehow.. I started with the Bridal bag, and it instantly hit me that I should make her a wedding day survival bag! This is fun for her party! Lots of goodies to ensure that nothing goes wrong on her big day.
I hope I can give you confused folk an idea to work off of! This project can be as cheap, or expensive as you want. It can be elaborate or very simple.
Here is some suggestions of supplies to get you started, and you can find them just about anywhere!
