I’m a Little Teacup { DIY + Recycling }

With kids in the house dropping things left and right, you’re bound to have a couple of incomplete tea sets and mismatched cups. So instead of giving your pretty cups to a second hand shop or chucking them in the bin, consider these nifty recycling ideas:

• Plant mini cacti, succulents or herb seedlings in the teacups and create a lovely display in the kitchen.
• Turn vintage teacups into stunning candles by simply melting candle wax into the cup and inserting a wick.
• Use teacups to serve desserts and starters at your next dinner party.
• Teacups are ideal for sorting and organising – especially on your crafts or sewing table.
• Fit the teacups with little lights and hang them upside down above the kitchen counter.
• Compile a proper little tea set out of your odd cups for your little girls to play “tea party” with.
• Make little fridge tarts or jellies in teacups to entertain the kiddos or for your next tea party with your mommy friends.
• Use a teacup as a little flower pot on the coffee table, filling it with freshly cut blossoms straight from the garden.
