I needed a little "Thank you" gift for my D-I-L, daughter and one of her friends and I wanted something unique. My B-I-L buys and sells depression glass and he had given us these vintage teacups and bowls. A while ago, I had seen on another blog (sorry I can't remember whose!) a cute little teacup with a variety of plants planted inside. So, I dug out my vintage teacups after deciding I could do the same.
First I painted the sticks I used for the "Thank you" sign. The sticks I used were sticks I had picked up for caramel apples. Then I cut my sign using my Cricut. I purchased a small house plant and transferred that to the teacups.
The green teacups and saucers also had bowls with them. So, I filled the bowls with Catchall Bars and wrapped it all with some plastic wrap. Then topped it off with a bow. I think they turned out great!

I would love to get a thank you gift like that, so I know your family members are going to love them!

Oh they are so adorable! We were just cleaning out our basement and found a box of mismatched teacups, saucers and bowls.
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of vintage teacups, and I love your idea of turning them into thank you gifts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great idea.
What a cute idea! Never thought of doing that with a teacup! I am so amazed at what people are able to think of when I can't do a darn thing except read and write! I was already following you on GFC, Twitter and Facebook but wanted to follow thru RSS Feed this week. I hope you can swing by and follow also when you get a chance. Thanks so very much and have a great weekend.

Wow! If I received a Thank You like that I would be so tickled. That is such a wonderful idea. Thanks for the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI always find cute tea cups at yard sales or thrift stores. This is such a great idea to make and give as gifts. I will have to make one for myself while I'm at it. I had never thought of cutting out a little banner with my Cricut to put in with the plant so cute. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea
ReplyDeleteThrift stores are a great way to find cute tea cups. I didn't think of yard sales though--thanks for the tip. I love my Cricut machine exactly for these types of projects. And they have some terrific deals going on right now.
