A Spring Project


It's been ages since we've done a project and since I know everyone is so anxious for Spring, let's do a Spring Teacup!!

Your materials needed:


Vintage Teacup
Doily
Old Lace (thin)
Moss
Spring Flowers
Ecru & Robins Egg Blue colored acrylic paint
Paint Brush
Bird's Nest
Hot Glue Gun
Tiny Easter eggs

Note:  I did not use the bird's nest as originally planned because it was just too large for the teacup.


All I could find in tiny eggs were colored, so I painted them in ecru and then splattered them in blue.


Hot glue the doily with some of it hanging over the edge.  Now remember, this will hang by the handle of the cup, so plan your arrangement accordingly.  You want your handle at the top.


Next, add moss, small snippets of yellow flowers and some curly vine and your eggs all nestled in the cup.

I took a small strip of scrapbook paper and cut the banner and wrote Spring on it with a marker.  I then folded it and hot glued it onto the cup rim.


I then took a length of vintage lace and tied thru the cup handle to make it where it would hang.

Hope you enjoy this project and it makes us dream a little of Spring and warm weather!


Don't forget to comment everyday this week for the Easter Giveaway!

Enjoy!

Judy

  1. You have such unique ideas. I've started keeping all my doilies and bits and bobs putting them in boxes by season. Now I'll be able to make pretty decorations too.

  4. Oh- That is so darned cute, Judy. Too bad your little nest didn't fit in there but it looks great without it. Some birds will lay eggs anywhere, you know! Have a great night- xo Diana

  10. Thank you. You brought a little snippet of spring to me today. Very cute idea. We're dealing with about 5 inches of snow here today in this part of Missouri, but you've got me thinking "spring".

  13. Cute project. I can't wait for spring. the minus degrees and snow we have are making it hard to remember that spring is just a few weeks away. In March, our normal temps are supposed to be in the 40s. this morning it is 8. So I sew!!

  25. It is gorgeous Judy! It looks just as though a little tiny robin has come along and laid their eggs, they are known for nesting in any odd place so this is perfect! A great way to look forward to spring! xx
