With Christmas fast approaching, it always gets me excited to make one of my favorite festive special bevs…Moscow Mule. Don’t y’all love a good one? I think it’s a combination of the drink itself, as well as the adorable copper mugs. I am ashamed to say that up until this point I did not have my own copper mugs, but on a recent trip to Homegoods, I spotted some hammered copper ones that I knew I had to have.

I wanted to create a cute Moscow Mule station in my bar area for a recent dinner party we had. If you remember from a few weeks back, I shared my top finds from the Dollar Store. One of those finds was great black and white plaid duct tape that I wanted to incorporate into my Christmas décor somehow.

I started to think about what I could do and when I saw the copper mugs, I had an epiphany. What if I made a DIY plaid tray to go with my Christmas Moscow Mule station? I went to Michaels and found this great tray for about $5…and actually it was a combo pack, so I have another tray I can use for a future project.

I painted the tray with metallic gold spray paint to really make the copper mugs pop and I just love how the Moscow Mule station turned out!

I got these marquee lights at TJ Maxx for a great price over the summer in our initials. They were the only two left and were sitting next to one another on the shelf…I had to get them!
