I have been collecting teacups for a couple years-
I don't drink tea or have a collection on display-
I craft with them!

You can find antique teacups at any thrift stores-
They provide the perfect vintage element to home decor creations-
I've made bird nest displays in them,
Christmas ornaments
and now I'm upcycling them as bird feeders-
Simple to make but so cute in a garden!
Here are the steps I took-
1. Goodwill hunting
2. wash and dry completely
3. decide on the combination of cup and saucer
4. Use E6000 to attach the teacup to saucer-
some work better than others due the the depth of saucer and shape of teacup so mix 'em up
4. Let dry for 24 hours
I am dabbling with different ways to hang them. I found some small white chain on my Goodwill hunting and I have some white hooks I've accumulated. But, think outside the box- Pinterest has lots of cool ides- wire twisted into curliques, wire with beads, lucite wreath hangers that hang over doors-
Take care, gotta fly-

Cute as a button!
