At DIY Weddings we love to share ideas, inpsirations, products and more for the creative bride! If you have a blog post, tutorial, website, or shop that you would like to see featured at Craft Gossip, please add your link to our latest linky party! There were so many great entries last week and I’m highlighting 3 randomly chosen party guests today.

First is a pretty glass pearl necklace with an organza flower embellishment. You’ll find a great tutorial for making your own at Creative Mind.

Love these sparkly pink earrings from the Etsy shop Flower and Bud! This shop offers handcrafted jewelry and accepts custom orders. Perfect as gifts for a bride or her bridal party!

The third featured guest is Stephanie Severin of Ingenious Inkling. She created a gorgeous wedding cake card that looks good enough to eat!

Etsy Feature – Pottery Travel Mug Template Set (3 Pieces)

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.

What’s Included

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.

Why These Templates Are Worth It

  • Reusable & Reliable: Print and trace them as many times as you want.

  • Practical Design: The angled opening and lid slot make them comfortable and functional.

  • Perfect for Beginners: Templates take the guesswork out of hand-building.

  • Gift-Worthy: A handmade travel mug is a unique, eco-friendly present that anyone would appreciate.

Inspiration for Makers

  • Try a speckled clay body with a matte glaze for a modern, minimalist vibe.

  • Add underglaze designs or decals for a personalized look.

  • Make a full set of mugs in coordinating colors—perfect for a couple or family gift.

  • Pair your finished mugs with a bag of specialty coffee or tea for a beautiful handmade gift set.

Why You’ll Love It

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?
