CB-sponsored-post-white-400Stenciled Snowflake Teacher Gift Idea #shopI love making homemade teacher gifts each year.  I think a gift that is made by hand says that you care enough to spend your time and energy making it.  It simply means you care.  Each year, Kate and I make ornaments for her teachers, but this year I wanted to do something different.  I made these simple stenciled snowflake hot chocolate mug and bowl to complete a fun gift for her teachers.  Here’s what I did…

Stencil a coffee cup/ #shopI started with a plain white mug and bowl from Target.  I used my Silhouette cutting machine to make a sticky snowflake stencil…you can totally use a regular stencil.  I started by sticking it on my mug.

Stenciled Personal Popcorn Bowl   #shopI wanted to make a matching bowl to go along with my gift idea, so I made smaller snowflake stencils to around it.
Hot Chocolate Popcorn Slim Jims   #shopI picked up some of my favorite snacks from Target while I was there.  I grabbed some Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, Orville Redenbacher’s Popcorn, and Slim Jims.

    What kind of paint did you use? I need product recommendations for something dishwasher/microwave safe for a project like this!

      I used DecoArt Gloss Enamels … you have to bake it for 30 minutes to make sure it won’t come off, but it’s super simple to use :)
