You guys, I am in love with my new mugs. After finding out about dishwasher safe ModPodge, I knew I wanted to try to create a mug with tissue paper, hoping it would create a watercolor effect. I could not be more stoked with how they turned out! I love how layering the paper created  interesting color and texture, while the pop of polka dots made it truly unique. This kind of project is my favorite, because  there are a million and one ways to make it your own. Different colors and patterned tissue paper combinations will make a unquie mug everytime…the perfect customized gift! If you make one, make sure to snap a pic and tag #ispydiy on Instagram so I can see how yours turned out.  Added bonus if you sport it with a super cute pair of heart gloves 🙂  Step and supplies after the break…
