I made a fun, simple personalized mug to give to each of my little ones on Valentine's Day.

I had seen these DIY mugs before, but my favorite mugs were made by Elsie. They're so cute. She personalized her mugs using her beautiful handwriting. I love hers, but I'm not that fond of my handwriting. I used stickers instead as templates.

I used the negative cutout of the heart sticker (the outside sticker portion of the heart itself), and alphabet stickers to personalize each of their mugs (oh, I should mention I got the mugs at the $1 store!):

Then I used a hot pink sharpie and colored the hearts in. It didn't take long for the ink to dry. After they dried, I removed the stickers.
[Edit: These need to be baked at 350* for 30 minutes. I forgot that very important step and the ink washed right off! It was easy to redo though.]
I like how they turned out.


I'll think I'll fill them with some candy, and surprise them on Valentine's Day.
