Discover Hygge with Your DIY Clay Coffee Mug
The cold season invites you to get cozy at home. The Danish lifestyle concept, Hygge, embodies coziness, joy, and comfort. It's about enjoying the little things and giving yourself or others a break. What could be better than a steaming cup of coffee or tea in a homemade clay mug?

DIY Guide: Hygge Clay Coffee Mug

Step 1: Shape the Coffee Mug
Let your imagination run wild! Shape your unique coffee mug from soft clay. Knead the clay thoroughly and moisten it with a bit of water. Roll a large ball and press it slightly flat on a surface. Use your thumb to create a hollow in the ball and work your way around the edge, being careful not to make the walls too thin.

Once you're happy with the shape, let the mug dry thoroughly. Ideally, let it air dry for a day. Alternatively, you can fire it at 1000 degrees in a kiln.

Step 2: Protect Against Moisture
To make your coffee mug long-lasting and usable, seal it with a special clay sealing agent. Apply it generously both inside and outside. For optimal protection, repeat the process. Let the sealant dry overnight.

Step 3: Apply Matte Finish
For a beautiful, matte finish, apply a topcoat. This not only gives the mug a stylish look but adds extra protection. Apply it with a brush on the outside and let it dry for at least 4 hours. Follow with oven baking, according to the product's instructions.

Step 4: Personalize and Enjoy
Once the last coat is dry, personalize your mug with a porcelain brush pen. Whether it's an inspiring quote or a nice pattern, let your creativity flow. Simply paint your design onto the mug.
