**Edit 6/30/2017**: My new stencil holder is sure to put a smile on your face (and keep you organized):\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2412238\r\n\r\n**Edit 6/29/2017**: I've designed a brand-new stencil of a butterfly, featuring an improved handle design! From now on, all new stencils will have this enhanced design, and I'll soon retrofit my previous ones as well...\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2410534\r\n\r\n**Edit 6/28/2017**: Vintage phone patterns are a real treat, especially when you add them to your coffee!\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2409377\r\n\r\n**Edit 6/26/2017**: What else can brighten up people's day? My new leaf stencil, of course!\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2405021\r\n\r\n**Edit 6/24/2017**: What pairs well with coffee and smiles? Peace, that's what!\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2402130\r\n\r\n**--End of Edits--**\r\n\r\nIn the immortal words of Bill Lumbergh from Office Space:\r\n\r\n>Oh, and remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.\r\n\r\nI understand that a simple coffee stencil won't make every day feel like Friday, but it might just improve your mood a little or that of others?\r\n\r\nIn fact, research has shown that giving feels better than receiving neurologically!\r\n\r\nIf you need something else to smile about, here's a picture of my wife rescuing a baby bird:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/theamarand/17402580262/\r\n\r\nSo the first thing you do is download this stencil and then print it out. Hopefully, you have a mug or cup that this will fit over. Just the anticipation of having a fun stencil to print will actually cause a positive effect on your brain, it's true! Think about how much fun it will be to level your printer (okay, maybe not that) - and press the print button, watching your plastic print monkey draw layer by layer as you drift into a deeper and deeper sense of calm...\r\n\r\nWait, no! Don't fall asleep! Wake up! It's Friday!\r\n\r\nOr at least, it's Friday right now when I'm posting this. I saved the smiley face coffee stencil for posting on Friday because although Monday probably needs a smile more than Friday, it's always fun to start the weekend with a smile.\r\n\r\nRight now, I'm working on several ideas: dog paw, cat paw, dog bone.... So if there's a symbol/shape you really like, please let me know!\r\n\r\nIf you have an idea for a custom stencil, please don't hesitate to reach out! I can also make any or all of my stencils in a different size fairly easily. Just need your required diameter and if you need a taller or shorter "lip" than what I've provided.\r\n\r\nMake yourself a cup of coffee, and that will give you energy! Then you can make another cup of coffee for a friend, lover, or even a co-worker, or enemy. Even enemies like coffee. And with this smiley face, you're sure to get a smile or a laugh out of anyone you give this to, unless they're a real jerk. In which case, you can't please everyone, can you?\r\n\r\nBut yes, it's Friday, and here in smiley face coffee stencil world, it's always Friday! And you can come back and look at the smiley face stencil here on Thingiverse if you're feeling down, and just need something happy to look at. But it's way more fun to print your own, and have one that you can hold in your hands, maybe let your dog or cat sniff it? They like peanut butter. Toss it like a toy. Who knows?\r\n\r\nIt probably makes sense to print one of these and try it out on your container first, and if it's too big, too small, just measure the outside diameter (and maybe the inside diameter too, so I can appropriately place the stencil), and post a comment, or even better, create an I Made One entry, and share pictures there. It helps me keep track of the little custom projects I'm working on.\r\n\r\nMake yourself a cup of coffee, and that will give you energy!
