Confetti Dipped Mug

Have a party every morning with a DIY Confetti Dipped Mug

For me, I think most mornings need a little pick-me-up. I usually head straight for my coffee and reach for my less pretty mugs that are just the perfect size for me. I found a few plain white mugs that are a great size, but way too boring for my taste. I decided to add a little party to my mugs!

Confetti Mug

I’ve been very intrigued by Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge for a while now, so I decided to give it a test run with one of my favorite things to Mod Podge – homemade confetti. I really like the way that this turned out, and while I’m still in the “curing” phase with this craft (Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge takes 28 days to cure), I do have high hopes after reading reviews from others.

I have used and washed this mug several times now. The first wash did give the area above the tissue paper a slight pink tinge, but much to my delight, that coloring went away with a couple of washes! 

What You Need:

  • Plain White Mug
  • Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge
  • Colorful Tissue Paper
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Painter’s Tape
  • Craft Knife

How to Make It:

1

Tape off your mug so the bottom of the tape is about halfway down the mug. Don’t forget the handle!

2

Cut your tissue paper into little confetti pieces using your scissors. I used 4 squares about 8 x 8 inches and it was the perfect amount of confetti. To make it go quickly, you can use a paper trimmer to create strips of tissue paper, gather the strips together and trim them.

3

Brush a thin layer of Mod Podge onto your mug, and sprinkle the confetti on top. You can press with your fingers if you don’t mind having a little bit of tissue paper stuck to them. Continue brushing and sprinking until the entire bottom of your mug is covered.

4

Once the whole mug is covered, give it another top coat of Mod Podge, and let the whole thing completely dry.

5

Once it’s dry, find the edge of your tape, and lightly trace it with your craft knife so you will have a clean edge when you pull the tape off. Remove the tape and give the confetti area one more coat of Mod Podge, paying special attention to the edge. I brushed about 1/4 inch above the edge to make sure there was a seal.

Let the mug cure for 28 days as directed on the Mod Podge container. I’m probably going to give it at least a month to be safe. I’ll update once I try it out.

Once it’s had the proper amount of time to cure, enjoy your new mug!
