DIY Upcycled Heineken Big Mug

by

I love a project that shows you how to recycle or upcycle glass bottles, I am not a fan of the handle, but it would look really cool in a bar or man cave. This tutorial suggests using a glass cutter, but a great investment is a bottle cutter. They are safer to use and allow for straighter neater cut lines. Perfect addition to your craft supplies, especially if you plan on making a few of these for a full bar set. These glass bottle mugs would make great father’s day gifts too.

Etsy Spotlight – The Thomas Boys Shirt Sewing Pattern

This week in our Etsy Spotlight Series, we’re loving the timeless charm of the Thomas Shirt Sewing Pattern for boys. This versatile button-up pattern is perfect for every occasion—from backyard playdates to weddings and special celebrations.

We think this pattern really shines when paired with fun, bold prints—think quirky florals, vintage cars, tropical vibes, or even festive Christmas fabrics! It’s a fantastic way to let your fabric stash shine while creating something practical and adorable.

This pattern is a must-have for any sewing parent or grandparent. The design is polished enough for formal wear (wedding shirt, anyone?) but still comfy and easygoing for everyday use.

Tip: Try sewing it up in linen or lightweight cotton for summer, or use flannel for a cozy winter version.

Whether you’re sewing for your own kids or making gifts, the Thomas Shirt sewing pattern is a classic that’ll be on repeat.
