Tea Cup Centerpieces

Nellie's birthday party is coming up & 

I've been using lots of {what else?} 

spray paint & epoxy to get ready!

We're having a tea party & I want bright, happy colors!

I found this centerpiece on Pinterest & decided to make

something like it.

I spent about $12 {total} on tea cups & saucers at the thrift store.

{I tried to find pieces with texture on them.}

I don't know if it was necessary, but I did spray the dishes

with primer first. Then, I painted everything in crazy colors.

Most of the insides of the cups don't show, 

so don't worry about them.

-More about the pink frame in a later post!-

For the next step, you'll need some glue.

I recently overcame my fear of epoxy & now I'm

glueing everything in sight using it on lots of projects!

Just squeeze some epoxy on a paper plate & 

mix it with a plastic spoon. 

Then, {working quickly} dip your cups 

in the glue & place them where you want them.

I think it's cute if they are stacked kinda crooked.

Then I added some gold paint to the edges with a sponge brush

& some gold glitter. {'Cause everything is more fun with glitter!}

The centerpieces are so cute with some fresh flowers in the top cup.

I used wet floral foam & wet florist tape it the cup first.

{Water the foam generously before placing the flowers.}

One "grower's bunch" {$5} from the grocery store

was enough to fill both cups.
