If you enjoyed reading our ‘Create your own Father’s Day Photo Mug Design<\/a>‘ post but want to create a collage photo mug<\/a>, then look no further! We’ve created three different collage designs that you can easily create yourself following our simple steps. The best part is, they are completely customisable to your Dad!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/span><\/a><\/h5>\n

L-R: Design3, Design1, Design1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

All of the embellishments featured in the collage photo mug designs can be\u00a0found in the category: \u00a0<\/em>Snapfish Favourites\u00a0> Father\u2019s Day<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Collage Photo Mug\u00a0<\/a>Design 1.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Start your design by\u00a0choosing your favourite photos of you and Dad to add\u00a0to your collage photo mug<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. There are only a few ‘ready-made’ layouts available for mugs at the moment, however this should not limit you! The new Snapfish<\/a>\u00a0builders allow you to be as creative as possible!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Remove the single image layout from your project by clicking on the ‘photo here’ area, and pressing the \u2018delete\u2019<\/em> key on your keyboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Deleting the photo layout will allow you\u00a0to start your own design and leave you with a clear area to work!<\/span><\/p>\n

(Steps 1-4 apply to all three mug designs)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

5. We have lots of embellishments that are perfect for Father’s Day available on Snapfish UK!<\/a> We’ve chosen some of our favourites and put them in a special folder ‘Snapfish Favourites<\/em>‘, so you can have a look for yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have started this design with the\u00a0‘BEST DAD EVER<\/span>‘\u00a0<\/strong>embellishment. We\u00a0centred the embellishment using the pink lines. This way the Dad can be reminded he’s the best no matter which way he holds his mug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

6. Drag and drop the images you\u2019d like from the photo well onto your collage photo mug<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The easiest way to create an interesting \u00a0layout on your collage photo mug<\/a>\u00a0is to use the shuffle button. Each time you shuffle the images, a completely new layout is produced.\u00a0Shuffle\u00a0does not move non-photo objects like text and embellishments, so all of the images will shuffle around the\u00a0‘BEST DAD EVER<\/span>‘\u00a0<\/strong>embellishment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

7. Keep shuffling until you find a layout you are happy with! If you want to revert back to a previous layout, simply click the\u00a0UNDO button.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. We settled on a layout that was symmetrical on both sides of the embellishment. To make sure the layout was perfect, we edited it slightly.\u00a0You can edit the size, orientation or location of photos in the layout using the tool bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

9. Make sure you align your photos using the pink lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

10. Once you are happy with your layout, you could order your mug as is, or simply\u00a0add a background colour. <\/span><\/p>\n

However,\u00a0we chose to add extra embellishments.\u00a0We added\u00a0lots of pink<\/span> and blue <\/span>hearts to the design. If you would prefer to use different coloured hearts then go to ‘Basics<\/em>‘ >\u00a0‘Hearts & Stars<\/em>‘ and you can see all of the different colours\u00a0available.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

11. Edit the hearts so they vary in size\u00a0and position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

13. Once you have finished your collage photo mug<\/a>\u00a0design, click \u2018Review & Buy\u2019 and this is what\u00a0your design\u00a0will look like once printed on to a mug.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to make a few additional tweaks, then\u00a0click the ‘back to edit<\/em>‘ button, and\u00a0you will be taken back to the mug builder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Collage Photo Mug\u00a0<\/a>Design 2.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Follow steps 1 – 4 from Design 1<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Start your design by creating a stripe across the top of your\u00a0collage photo mug<\/a>, using a ribbon embellishment.\u00a0We opted for a pale blue patterned ribbon, but there are lots of different colours to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep adding an additional ribbon embellishment until you have created a stripe long enough to go across the entire mug.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

6. To create the black stripes, use\u00a0a black and white striped ribbon embellishments. Keep adding them until you are happy with how many stripes you have!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

7. Use the pink lines to make sure your embellishments are aligned. We used the ZOOM button to get a closer look at our\u00a0photo mug<\/a>, this helped when trying to place the embellishments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

8. \u00a0 Once you are happy with your black and white stripes, create the grey strip across the bottom.\u00a0To create the grey strip, we added a textured\u00a0grey embellishment, that you can find in ‘Snapfish Favourites’.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

9. Using the rotate button, rotate the embellishment\u00a0180 degrees so you\u00a0have a flat line at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

10. We stretched the size of the embellishment so it fit across the entire mug, and then placed it at the bottom of the collage photo mug<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

11. When you are happy with your stripes add your photos. We added two photos on the left hand side of the mug! You could always add photos around the entire mug, if you have lots of favourite photos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Tip: If Dad’s left handed then add your photos to the right hand side!\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

12. The space below the pictures is the perfect area for a Father’s Day phrase. We chose to keep it simple and add\u00a0‘Happy Father’s Day’,<\/em> but you can add any text you like!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We used the font Linotype Feltpen Medium in size 26 for our phrase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

11. Once you have finished your design, click \u2018Review & Buy\u2019, and this is what\u00a0your collage photo mug<\/a>\u00a0will look like once\u00a0printed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Collage Photo Mug\u00a0<\/a>Design 3.<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Follow steps 1 – 4 from Design 1<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. To start the design we added\u00a0a background colour. We opted for a chalkboard grey colour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

6. Drag and drop your favourite photos, on to your\u00a0collage photo mug<\/a>. We think adding two photos works best for this design, but you can try to add more if you prefer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two photos we chose to use were completely different size and orientation, so we cropped them to be square, and rotated\u00a0them so they were both positioned on an angle.\u00a0You can edit the size, orientation or location of photos in the layout using the tool bar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

7. Add a frame to\u00a0both of the\u00a0photos. We chose a white square frame, as the white is a great contrast against the grey background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find the frame we used in the ‘Snapfish Favourites<\/em>‘ folder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

8. To give the impression that the photos had been stuck on to the mug, we added washi tape embellishments to the design. Not only does this look fun, it also adds a pop of colour to your design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We chose to \u00a0use a blue washi tape, and also a multi coloured set of three. As these embellishments are quite sheer, we would recommend layering two on top of each other to make sure the colour is vibrant. <\/span>There are plenty of colours, patterns and styles of washi tape available, to see the entire collection you can look in\u00a0‘Basics’ > ‘Badges & Banners’.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

9. With this design, we had\u00a0lots of fun with the embellishments! We added another embellishment in the shape of a white heart. This works\u00a0nicely with the chalkboard grey background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

10. To finish the design add text. We chose to write ‘LOVE YOU DADDY’. The font we have used looks like an embellishment, but is actually ‘Linotype Cutter’<\/em>\u00a0font!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Collage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

11. Once you have finished your design, click \u2018Review & Buy\u2019, and this is what\u00a0your collage photo mug<\/a>\u00a0will look like once\u00a0printed.<\/span><\/p>\n
