Teacup Winter Wonderland

December 8, 2014 By Karen Creel

I admit it. I am a magazine hoarder. I have them stacked in piles, and lined up on the bookshelf. I have great ambitions to tear out the pages of the things I think I will make, plant, or cook. I’ve  picked up a few vintage teacups on my trips to the thrift store, so when I passed by the Country Woman Magazine at the grocery store the other day, I was drawn to the little teacups on the front cover. The teacups were filled with small vintage animals, houses, and ornaments creating a miniature garden in a teacup.  I had the perfect idea for my teacups.  Being a gardener, (and a lover of gnomes), I was ready to start my teacup crafting!

Supplies you will need to make a miniature garden in a teacup.

 I gathered all my materials, and sat down to put my teacup together. I had a few fairy garden pieces left over from another project, a little garden gnome,moss and a box of Christmas snow. Starting with the green cup, I first filled it in with a crumpled up plastic bag as the base.

I placed my gnome and red berries in the teacup, and anchored it down with the moss.  A miniature tree completed this cup.

Teacup crafts

This little teacup is one of my favorites and I chose a winter garden theme for it.  A birdbath with birds, birdhouse, trees and snow complete the theme.

 Use your thrift store finds for teacup gardens

 

These little teacups can be used all winter long to brighten your home.   So take a look through your stash (I know you have one), and make your own teacup craft.  You are only limited by your imagination.

Happy Gardening!

A Quick Note…

Gardenchick is a place for gardeners, flea market fanatics, lovers of the farmhouse look, and purveyors of all things rusty!

I’m not sure when my fascination with junk began, but gardening was in my blood from an early age.  I remember my grandmother could throw a few seeds out and have the prettiest flowers.  Sweet peas were rampant beside the front porch.  I can see her now, bent over pulling weeds, and I find myself doing the same thing anytime I’m in the yard.  My dad was raised on a large farm, and even though he moved away, and we always lived in the city, he had a garden.  He had me help him  plant a garden in May before he died in August.  So you can see, gardening just comes naturally to me.

I can’t explain the love of rusty and all things chippy, but I have dug through more barns and sheds than I would like to admit to bring out a rusty wagon or old chicken feeder.

So, I hope you will follow along, and we can learn a few things together.  I’ll be sharing gardening ideas, my flea market finds, and thrifty ways to repurpose.
