Crochet a cute Coffee Mug Amigurumi for your collection of handmade Christmas tree ornaments, or use your coffee cup as a keychain or gift tag!
This little Christmas ornament was born as a coffee mug. However, with the marshmallows and the chocolate straws, it looks more like a cup of hot cocoa!
And you could even make it into tea if you want!
