hot cocoa mug gift card holder

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Use the Monogram tool in the left tool bar to create an initial for the front of your mug and add it to your canvas. Size as needed to fit on your mug.

Click ‘Continue’ in the lower right corner of your screen.
TIP: If you want multiple cuts of your design, before you click ‘Continue’, change the quantity in the upper left corner of your screen.

Place the cardstock for your first mat layer onto your cutting mat, select your material and load your mat into your Cricut® machine.
TIP: Watch the prompts from Cricut® Design Space™ to let you know when to add the scoring wheel (or if you have a scoring stylus, make sure to update this in the software)

Now, unload your mat and gently remove the cardstock. Remove any pieces left around or within the cutout and discard.
TIP: Repeat Steps 4-5 for each mat layer in your design.

Fold along the score lines on the red inside liner.

Fold your mug cut-out along all of the score lines and attach the red inside liner to the back. Add hot glue to the tabs; then assemble your paper mug.

Fold the tabs in on the handle and glue to the inside of the paper mug, attach the red inside liner and attach the tab on the other end on the slant near the outside, bottom of the mug.

Use hot glue to attach the initial and snowflake to the outside, front of your mug.

Add cocoa mix and marshmallows to a cello bag. Tie a piece of twine around the outside of the cello bag, just above the marshmallows to close the bag. Tie a knot.
TIP: Twist the cello bag a few times for a more secure close.

Punch a hole in the corner of your gift card and slide onto the twine. Tie a bow and trim ends as desired.
