DIY Watercolor Coffee Mug #LoBMWatercolor

Are you looking for some inexpensive gift ideas that are very personal? Look no farther! Here is a great gift idea that cost me $2 to make!!!! Great Gift Idea for teachers or coworkers.

These are very easy to make, so your kids could make them for their teachers, you will want to assist them of course. Here is what you will need:
Ceramic Coffee Mug (I got mine at Dollar Tree for $1)
1-2 Nail Polish (I got mine at Dollar Tree for $1 each, use 1 or more colors)
Disposable Bowl (large enough to dip coffee mug in)
Paper Towel
Toothpick
​Warm Water

Now you pour your hot water into the container, then you pour the nail polish on top of the water, if you are using 2 colors, start with the darker shade, then add the lighter shade on top.  Then just swirl it with the toothpick to mix the colors for a nice design.

Then all you do is dunk your coffee mug, and that is it!!! You have a watercolor coffee mug.  

But if you are a more visual person, you can watch my youtube tutorial video below.

Remember to let the mug sit for several hours to ensure that it dries completely.  Make sure to also let those that you gift these to, that they must be hand washed, as they will not hold up to the dishwasher and the designs will come off. 
You can also use some spray sealant to ensure the design stays nice and pretty, just make sure not to spray the inside of the mug. 
I hope this has given you some inspiration to make some great gifts for those on your gift list this year. 
​If you make one, please share it with me on instagram by using the hashtag: #LoBMWatercolor.  Can't wait to see your creations!!!
