Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday 1 September. It’s never too early to plan your gifts, especially if you’re creating a truly unique gift for Dad.
In this blog, we break down how to make an awesome full wrap mug into 3 easy steps!
What you’ll need
- A computer or phone (with the Snapfish app)
- A selection of photos
- Your creativity
- Love for dad
Step 1: Pick your photo(s)
You have a few options for your photos:
- Use a single wide photo (roughly 1450×660 pixels)
- Multiple photos (don’t worry about size, but go as high resolution as you can go)
Tips for choosing the right photos:
- Pick your favourite memories (doesn’t matter how old they are!)
- Go through some old print photos and scan them onto your computer
- Use a “theme” like photos with similar colours or similar backgrounds (e.g. Photos from the last family trip to the Gold Coast)
Step 2: Design your mug
If this is your first time creating a Snapfish mug, don’t worry! You don’t need any special design skills. Use features like Layouts, Design Variations and More Designs to help give you some inspiration.
Making a unique mug is so easy to do that you can work together on your mug project with your kids 💙
Use our default layouts to see ways you can arrange your photos
Not a designer? Not a problem! Use More Designs to get you started.
Tips for designing your gift for Dad:
- Keep it simple: use a maximum of 5-6 photos
- If you use text, make the font size bigger than 12 pts. so you can read it on the mug
- Use Embellishments to add some design flair to your mug
- Making a magic mug? Stick with a white background so that it blends in with the white colour that shows when you have hot water in the mug

Step 3: Review & order your mug
This step is important so you know what your mug might look like before you buy it.
Things to keep in mind:
- Rotate your preview so you can see what either side of the mug will look like
- Make sure you’re happy with how the photos wrap and change them if you want to
- Choose your mug colour: you can choose from red, white, blue and pink!
From this point, add your mug to your cart and fill out all your shipping details 📦
