Grandpa's Shaving Mug
December 3rd 2007 10:51
I made this for my Dad last Christmas. It's a shaving mug with photos of all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I've seen photo mugs at different online photo processing sites, such as Snapfish.com. The problem with the ones I've seen, though, is that they only use one photo. I wanted to include 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. So, I made my own.
Since it was for a shaving mug, not a mug to drink out of, it was simple. I created a rectangle in PrintShop that would fit around a white mug. I cropped photos of each of the kids in different sizes and shapes, then layered them all over the rectangle. I printed it out, glued it to the mug, and coated with Mod Podge. After about 5 coats, I gently sanded for a smooth finish, and finished with acrylic spray sealer.
My Dad loved it!
