Plastic Easter Egg Tea Cups

Mmmm~~~ What is my daughter drinking?

No, she is not drinking Sake. ;P

She is pretending to drink a cup of coffee with the tea cups mommy made with plastic Easter eggs. =)

I used the rounder eggs to make mini Play-Doh cupcakes, and the pointy ones for the tea cups.

I used buttons to stabilize the bottom. I didn’t have the patience to wait for the craft glue to dry, so I ended up using hot glue.

For the tea cups handles, I used butterfly and heart punch outs, ribbons, and buttons.

(Shown Stampin’ Up! Heart to Heart Extra-Large punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die, and Butterfly Extra-Large punch)

Originally, I just wanted to add the handles and no decoration on the cups. But, I ended up liking the ones without the handles. If I had planned it better, I should’ve put the art works first before adding the buttons on the bottom. I got hooked on drawing on the cups using permanent markers, Stickles, Dimensional Pearls, stickers, and Rub-ons. My son even helped me with the drawing! Perfect project for kids crafting!

Put two plastic eggs together, and…

Made a bird bath.

So many possibilities!

Save all the plastic Easter Eggs! =)

Two on the right are my favorites.

Oh my~! And what is this!!!

Mini Play-Doh Cupcakes with Plastic Easter Egg Frostings and Tea Cups!

Happy Easter Everybody!

    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog; Also, I wanted to tell you an idea my friend and I came up with: putting haiku on the teacups! She’s a poet with two little girls, so hopefully I’ll have some photos to share with you later. Any opportunity to get poetry into the mix! Thanks again for the great idea.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
