“Holly Jolly” is a downloadable wrap-around mug pattern that I first painted on a Christmas ornament (it’s actually part of a 6-pattern bundle), and I knew straight away that I just HAD to try to adapt it for a wrap-around mug design! So here it is!! Even though it was created for a mug (or anything it can wrap around), I’ve seen these types of designs done on flat surfaces too. Oh, and don’t worry about getting the same sized mug as I used - I didn’t include how many dots are in the first row for a reason - I promise it doesn't matter and the design will work on everything from mugs, to bowls, to vases!
The mug I painted on was approximately 5.5" tall and approximately 10" around/circumference.
