christmas in a teacup

December 11, 2018

Would you like to try a Christmas craft that is a little different from creating a gingerbread house?  Maybe even a little less intimidating?  How about crafting a holiday scene in a teacup?

I recently met a good friend at a tea house for breakfast and came upon these lovely centerpieces on the tables…instant smile makers!

Of course this one is my favorite…it most closely matches my decorating style!

Isn’t this a great DIY craft idea?  Even for inexperienced crafters, creating a little holiday teacup scene is not intimidating at all!  A few little decorative items and some artificial snow are all that is needed to transform a teacup and saucer into an enchanting holiday scene!

I love this idea!  I have plenty of vintage teacups since I sometimes use them to serve crème brulees or to plant moss or small plants.  If you don’t own any, pick one, or several, up at any Goodwill or tag sale.  Better yet, use a family heirloom to build your miniature scene!

I can’t wait to take out my box of miniature white bottle brush trees to get started!  You know I don’t decorate in red and green for the holidays, so I can’t wait to create some scenes in neutrals!  I think shells and sea glass are also in order!  I see coastal holiday scene teacups in my future!

I hope I have inspired you to create some Christmas scene teacups of your own this holiday!  Use your imagination and have fun with it!
