A great handmade gift on a low budget!

I have alot of people to buy for (big family)..So I came up with this idea..It cost me about $50 for 20 finished mugs. I bought all of the mugs from a local thrift store for 50 cents each! I like the fact that the money I spent at the thrift store goes to help people in need also. I hope you all enjoy my very first how-to..I would love some feedback :D
