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.

Create a miniature garden in a vintage teacup

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!
