Description

Use Sugru to upcycle & an old coffee mug or customise your favourite. A great idea for personalised gifts!

Instructions

  1. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145530 dscf0953

    Start by getting your cat to check you have everything you need....NAUGHTY LOKI!!!!

  2. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145556 dscf0955

    You will need; a mug, a sharpie, Sugru, a mat to protect your work surface & optionally, masking tape.

  3. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145659 dscf0956

    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

  4. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145746 dscf0971

    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

  5. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145823 dscf0996

    Then decorate the back of your mug. A good idea is to go online & get some inspiration as I have done here!

  6. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 145923 dscf0998

    Grab your Sugru in the colours you prefer, I want purple so I'm going to mix equal parts red & blue.

  7. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 150002 dscf1002

    Mush them both together into they are evenly mixed

  8. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 150016 dscf1012

    Then break off small amounts of Sugru & begin to role them into thin spaghetti shapes!

  9. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 150136 dscf1013

    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!

  10. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 150218 dscf1018

    As you go, make sure you press the Sugru lightly onto your mug so it sticks

  11. Small 104638 2f2014 10 05 150338 dscf1062

    Carry on adding to your design until you're happy with the finished result

    Finally, leave to cure for 24 hours!
