DIY Floral Temporary Tattoo Mugs

Today’s post is by Holly of Club Crafted

Spring is just a few short weeks away, so it’s time to start thinking florals! When Sarah came across these beautiful floral temporary tattoos designed by artist Jess Phoenix, we agreed they were the perfect decorations for a set of mugs. It’s very easy to create a set of temporary tattoo mugs sealed with Mod Podge to give as gifts for upcoming occasions! They’re hand washable and completely customizable with any temporary tattoo. Plus, everyone could use a new mug, right?

Step 1: Peel the plastic off of a temporary tattoo and carefully place the design down onto a dry mug.

Step 2: Press a wet cloth or sponge on top and hold for at least 30 seconds until you can peel away the paper with the tattoo completely stuck to the mug.

Step 3: Dab the wet cloth over the tattoo to set it. Let dry.

Step 4: Lastly, brush one layer of Mod Podge over the design and let dry. Hand wash only.

    These are beautiful! What a fun afternoon project! Just wondering how the design is holding up for you/those who have tried this project? Even with handwashing, is it chipping off at all? Also, has anyone tried microwaving the cups yet? Curious if that’s still ok to do with the tattoo and mod podge coating on it.

    Love your blog! Thanks for sharing!

      Hi Nina! Thank you so much! I asked Holly, who created the project, and she said, “I still use them and they’ve held up well with handwashing. I have not attempted to put them in the microwave because I used metallic tattoos, so I’m not sure how non-metallic ones would hold up. However, I learned there is a dishwasher safe version of Mod Podge that may work in the microwave as well.”

    We tried to hand wash ours a few hours after the mod Podge had dried so my daughter could use hers and the mod Podge all gummed up and washed off- not sure why or what to do?

      Hi Vanessa, it appears that it needs to dry longer. I recommend waiting at least a few days before trying to hand wash it. According to the directions on the Mod Podge bottle, it says the item must try for 21 days before being dishwasher safe.

    Can we use something instead of mod podge?

      Possibly! Unfortunately we only tested it with ModPodge but I’d recommend checking your local craft supply store for another sealant that is washable once dry.

    This is great, Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely try this. These are so cute. I’d love to copy my bloom temporary tattoo to my favorite mug. Check out: https://wannabeink.com/collections/bloom for cool and stunning designs.
