The first step is super easy.
Simply choose a white mug for the project.
I found this large mug at Dollar Tree.
Obviously, it was only a dollar (which certainly fits within anyone’s budget).
And was perfect for this DIY Christmas mug idea.
There are also plenty of great mugs online that are super affordable and would be perfect for this project.
STEP TWO: CREATE THE VINYL CUTOUTS
Have you discovered the Cricut maker?
I cannot tell you how many times throughout the year I turn to this handy little machine to help me create unique, personalized items.
This project was no exception.
I create two snowman eyes and dot mouth out of permanent black vinyl.
Next, I cut a cute carrot nose out of permanent orange vinyl.
After weeding them, I placed them on three pieces of transfer tape.
STEP THREE: APPLY THE VINYL CUTOUTS TO THE MUG
First, start by applying the eyes to the center of the mug.
This will allow you to use the space between the eyes to center the rest of the snowman’s features.
Next, apply the mouth.
Be careful, since the circles are small and you want to make sure they stay evenly lined up, like they were in Design Space.
Finally, apply the nose to the center of the mug.
That’s it! You’re done!
You’ve created an adorable DIY Christmas mug for less than $2.
This mug the perfect hostess gift, teacher’s gift or a great idea to make as a guest favor for a holiday party.

Is it washable?
Lucy — It is! I would recommend hand washing though and avoiding the dishwasher.
