Mom Mug Fingerprint Flowers Craft
When you’re too little to get mom diamonds for Mother’s Day, you can make her our Mom Mug Fingerprint Flowers Craft! This handmade gift is worth way more than diamonds really, priceless even, as it’s made with those darling little fingers.
We also have a Mom Mug Free Printable Template for this craft so it’s even easier. Every holiday, when my kids ask what to get me, I always tell them to just get me a coffee mug. And I mean it. I love coffee mugs. So I thought this craft with a coffee mug would be appropriate.

Fingerprint Flowers Mug Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by choosing the base color for this Mother’s Day craft.
Draw a few starting stems with a green marker. The lines need to be located at the top of the paper, going towards the center. You’ll make more stems later. This just gave us a base to where to make the flowers.
Gather the paint you will be using and pour small amounts on a paper plate or palette.
Now, dip a finger into the paint.
Use your finger to make 5 fingerprints in a circle pattern, for 5 petals of the flower.
Continue making more flowers with your fingers, in different colors.
Make more flowers until you feel your flower mug is full enough. Let the paint dry completely.
Next, while the paint is drying, print and cut out the mug patterns.
Use the black marker to draw mom or your choice of design on the front of the mug.
Draw more stems with the green marker.
Then, glue the handle to the mug and glue the mug in place right below the flowers.
This is such a pretty craft! We hope your mom will love it just as much as this mom does.
