Personalized Travel Mugs

Following the craze that has hit SewForum.com, I've tried my hand at personalized travel mugs. This particular batch was purchased at Dollar Tree. They are only 11 oz, so they work pretty well for kids. I first made one for Annaliese. The large monogram was a freebie on SewForum, and I added her name with Embird Alphabet #17.



I decided I wanted another family to experiment with the cups before I started offering them, so I made a couple for Kylie and Kenzie. They were a thank you gift for hosting Thanksgiving, and then all our girls took them to Wild Adventures together.


Then today Annaliese attended a joint birthday party for three of her little friends, so we took personalized mugs for each of them:

Ethan's monogram was also a freebie on Sew Forum. I enjoyed using variegated thread on each of them for the outline of the large letter and all the little embellishments -- it added an extra layer of interest!

  2. Wow -- you could do a whole alphabet with these, or maybe a day-of-the-week series.

    I love all of your ideas!
