Monogramed mugs

Does your guy love hot cocoa or hot tea? If so, than this is the DIY gift for him! Draw on his initials or a cute quote. Something to remind him of his girl while he’s sippin on his fave hot beverage! This gift is so easy, and you can get as creative as you’d like.

What you’ll need:

• A blank white mug
• Permanent markers (as many colors as you’d like)
• An oven

What to do: 

Make sure your mug is clean and dry! Draw onto the mug with your permanent markers. We like this monogrammed look but feel free to draw anything you’d like, maybe a cute quote? Take your finished mug and put it into a cold oven. Then, set the oven to 350 degrees for 30 minutes (this allows the permanent marker to set so it doesn’t wash off in the washing machine). 

Note: Be careful grabbing the mug from the oven after baking! Use an oven mitten and have a parent or friend help you out.

Pepped up Pillow

Keep his team spirit going into the night with this one of a kind DIY t-shirt pillow. Take an old t-shirt and turn it into a super gift like this!

What you’ll need:

• A graphic t-shirt
• Quilter's ruler
• Rotary cutter with cutting mat
• Standard sewing supplies
• Polyester fiberfill or any stuffing of your choice

What to do: 

Place T-shirt, right side out, facing up on your cutting mat. Cut out the shirt’s graphic, leaving at least 3 1/2 in. on all sides. Then cut through both sides of the t-shirt. Place front and back pieces right sides facing each other and pin both pieces together (it should look like the pillow is inside out). Using a straight stitch and 1/2-in. seam, sew along edges of pinned pieces. Make sure to leave an opening for stuffing! Once sewed (except for the opening) take out the pins.

Turn right side out and stuff with fiberfill or stuffing of your choice and stitch the opening closed.
