There’s something so satisfying about a handmade travel mug. It’s practical, stylish, and makes your daily coffee or tea ritual feel that little bit more special. With this set of 3 pottery travel mug templates, you can create your own ceramic mugs that not only look professional but also make thoughtful, personal gifts.
This set comes with three different templates for slab-building your own travel mugs. Each template has slightly different proportions, giving you variety in size and style. That way you can experiment until you find the perfect fit for your hand—or make a matching set for family and friends.
Handmade pottery mugs have a warmth and character that no store-bought cup can compete with. Using these templates makes the process approachable, while still leaving plenty of room for your creativity to shine. And honestly? Everyone I know could use a good travel mug—so why not make one that feels personal and one-of-a-kind?
You can grab the set here: Travel Mugs Set Templates (3 Pieces) on Etsy.
This post is part of my Etsy Feature series, where I share clay tools and templates that make creating both functional and decorative pottery easier and more fun. And if you’re looking for a project that balances everyday use with handmade charm, these travel mugs might be your next go-to.
I have read several places about a craft clay that you can make at home that uses white glue along with some other ingredients. they call it polymer clay.Does anyone know that recipe? Where can I find it?
has anyone given you the answer for the polymer clay recipe?” if they have can you send it to me?”
For people looking for a polymer clay (air dry) recipe:
– 1/2 cup White Glue (School glue)
– 1/2 cup Cornstarch
– 1/2 teaspoon lemon (to act as preservative)
– Hand or Body lotion
– Microwave safe mixing bowl
– Spatula
Place Glue, Cornstarch, and Lemon in bowl, mix until smooth. Microwave on high for 30 second intervals until the mixture forms a heavy dough and darkens lightly in color. When the clay becomes very sticky and difficult to knead, let cool and add lotion into the dough in teaspoon increments. Knead the lotion in until the clay as a smooth consistency and glossy appeal.
Store in an airtight container- clay pieces will take 24 hours to cure under 1/4 inch thickness.
Clay will dry translucent unless color is added- food coloring, alcohol based pigments (like permanent markers), pastels, or acrylic paints can all be worked into the clay without problem.
