Use Sugru to upcycle & an old coffee mug or customise your favourite. A great idea for personalised gifts!
Start by getting your cat to check you have everything you need....NAUGHTY LOKI!!!!
You will need; a mug, a sharpie, Sugru, a mat to protect your work surface & optionally, masking tape.
Use the masking tape to mark out the middle of the coffee mug to give you an idea of where you would like to start working
Begin by adding your design to your mug. I've gone for a cat theme so I am writing 'Cat Lady' onto the front of my mug
Then decorate the back of your mug. A good idea is to go online & get some inspiration as I have done here!
Grab your Sugru in the colours you prefer, I want purple so I'm going to mix equal parts red & blue.
Mush them both together into they are evenly mixed
Then break off small amounts of Sugru & begin to role them into thin spaghetti shapes!
Then slowly apply your Sugru over the design of your mug, it's really easy to work with but it's worth taking your time!
As you go, make sure you press the Sugru lightly onto your mug so it sticks
Carry on adding to your design until you're happy with the finished result
Finally, leave to cure for 24 hours!
