Mug Makeover

Just a quick post today, with a share of a coffee mug makeover.

We picked up a couple of these mugs at the end of a conference when the exhibitor just wanted to get rid of them all. They are a decent size with a well-fitting lid, but had an advert on them which I decided to cover up.

I acquired some adhesive vinyl then used my Silhouette to cut both a circle large enough to cover the original advert, and the initial A in a stencil font sized to fit the circle. Quick and simple, but I now have a personalised mug rather than carrying an advert around with me.

Before and After

I've never used vinyl before, and don't know how well it will stand up to being washed. Hopefully it will last at least a few months and won't all peel off straight away.
