MY DIY | Tissue Paper Watercolor Mug

You guys, I am in love with my new mugs. After finding out about dishwasher safe ModPodge, I knew I wanted to try to create a mug with tissue paper, hoping it would create a watercolor effect. I could not be more stoked with how they turned out! I love how layering the paper created interesting color and texture, while the pop of polka dots made it truly unique. This kind of project is my favorite, because there are a million and one ways to make it your own. Different colors and patterned tissue paper combinations will make a unquie mug everytime…the perfect customized gift! If you make one, make sure to snap a pic and tag #ispydiy on Instagram so I can see how yours turned out. Added bonus if you sport it with a super cute pair of heart gloves Step and supplies after the break…

What you need: Mug Tissue paper Dishwater safe ModPodge Brush What to do: Rip off smaller pieces of tissue paper. Spread ModPodge on mug. Place tissue paper pieces, the paint over each layer with ModPodge. Paint a final layer of ModPodge over the top . Let dry. Make sure ModPodge is at least an inch below the the area you will sip. Done!
