21 DIY Mugs for Hot Beverage Season
The leaves are crunchier, the air is crisper and the sweaters are woolier. You know what that means… it’s hot beverage season, y’all. Whether your warmer of choice is spiced cider or black coffee, you can’t just sit there slurping it up with your hands like an animal. That beverage needs a home, and we’ve got just the mean mugs for the job. Not only are these indoor DIY projects great for when the temps drop, but if you start now, you’ll have all your Christmas gifts finished by Halloween!
