Quick and Easy Coach's Gift

 This year I turned to Pinterest to help me figure out what to get our football coaches.  I saved some of the ideas I found onto my Coach board.

I found an idea for stenciling mugs that originated at House of Joyful Noise blog.

I ran straight out to my local Dollar Tree and found these huge mugs for my project - $1!

 

I had planned to etch the mugs, but etching cream was a little intimidating and pricey for this project.

Instead, I tried Martha Stewart's glass paint in the frost color to get the same effect.  I also chose a stencil of hers and spelled out the word "COACH"

I protected all exposed glass with painter's tape...

 Then applied the paint with a tapping motion...
