Weekend Project: DIY Travel Mug For Just $1
Got kids bored at home?. Entertain them by making this beautiful glittery DIY Travel Mug that you can get at the Dollar Tree. I will show step by step how to beautify it. Think of all the gifts you can make for just $1. Excellent as Party Favors for kids birthdays, Teacher Gifts, Holiday gifts for your co-workers, etc.Most of the supplies you need I am sure you already have at home. All you need to buy is a few Travel Mugs at your local Dollar Store.
Supplies:
- Dollar Tree Travel Mug with removable tumbler
- Spray Adhesive
- Pink Glitter or any glitter color of your choice
Instructions:
1) Grab your travel mug and remove the tumbler from inside.  Set tumbler aside to be used at the end.
1) Open up your glitter container and lay a piece of paper down under your spraying area.
2) With your clear cup in hand quickly spray adhesive glue inside the entire cup and quickly pour a huge amount of glitter into cup. Â Be sure to swirl all the glitter around in a circular motion to cover all the adhesive.
Act fast as the glue will dry in 15-20 seconds.
3) Once you have swirled the glitter around be sure to shake out excess glitter onto paper and pour back into glitter container. Â Glitter can be reused for future projects.
4) If you are happy with the amount of coverage you are done, if not repeat step 3 and 4 until you have achieved your results. Â It only took me one time to get the perfect amount of coverage.
5) Let dry for 5 minutes and replace tumbler inside travel cup.
That’s it a beautiful Travel mug for just $1.00 and I am sure your kids will have blast making it. They can also add stickers on the outside and personalize them!. I will definitely be making more for my daughter’s birthday!.Â
Cleaning Instructions:
Once the glue and glitter has dried it is safe to rinse your cup out with water and let air dry. Â Do not place in microwave or dishwasher.
