Have you ever thought of fashioning your own custom monogrammed beer mug to give them an extra attractive edge? Monogrammed beer mugs make wonderful gift ideas for those who love drinking beer and appreciate the actual vessels. If you can set a whole afternoon aside, rope in friends or family members to make this a special communal project. Supplies can be easily found at your local hobby shops, and your work-of-art will be immensely enjoyed by your favorite beer drinkers. Nothing else is more appreciated than a gift made by loving hands.
Supplies needed:
- Beer mugs (a set of six is ideal)
- Chosen monogram (clip art is a great choice)
- Pencil
- Spray adhesive or strong glue
- Stencil knife
- Scissors
- Ruler for accurate measuring
- Gloves to protect hands
- Goggles
- Squeegee
- Etching cream
Method
At your local hobby store or thrift stores, find mugs which have flat peripherals and chiseled facades on the bottom part. Mugs which have facades all over are not suitable as it will be not be able to display your monogram.
Next, get your clip art letter ready. Scan the clip art on your computer and use suitable software to either enlarge or make the design small, depending on how you want the design to turn out.
Once this is completed, use your pencil to illustrate a parallel line along the baseline of the letter. Use a ruler to guide you. Spot the letter's middle point with a small dot.
Then, begin to incise the monogrammed clip art letter. Remember to draw a little border around each sides and the upper edge. Place a piece of long paper at the edge of the bottom.
Cut a small piece of adhesive, keeping in mind to use shelf paper that can cover the beer glass and big enough to swathe over the edges when the beer mug is rested on its side.
Place the beer mug on its side and stick on the shelf paper. Determine where the baseline is to be and draw a parallel line to mark the spot.
Cover the back of your letter paper using the adhesive and aerate for a while. Once dry, firmly depress the letter directly on the shelf paper. Adjust accordingly.
After eliminating the tab, cut out the monogrammed letter, using a stencil knife to incise around the letter's inner and outer borders. Gently take out the paper.
Put some etching cream on the surface of the beer mug and use the squeegee to evenly disseminate a substantial coat of cream over the monogrammed letter. Use goggles as the scent from the etching cream can overwhelm the eyes.
Let dry for about 20 minutes. Use the squeegee to eliminate leftover etching cream. Using a mild detergent and tepid water, rinse the beer mug and remove the shelf paper from it.
Voila! You now have your very own, custom monogrammed beer vessel. Send these to your beer loving friends as birthday gifts. They will love you for this.
