Chances are you have a few mismatched teacups tucked away in a cupboard or you come across some lovely pieces on sale at yard sales and auctions (for cheap!). What to do with them? Here are a bunch of lovely ideas you can try, some have been previously featured on Tipnut and included here for one handy project sheet. I’ll be adding more projects to this list as I find them, enjoy!

I love this site. this weekend I will be making myself a fun headband to wear to a party. I have been looking for the right idea for a headboard for my bedroom. The painted canvas ideas for non-crafters is just what I have been looking for. Thanks. Darlene
Martha Stewart gave a neat trick a few years ago to make ugly wire tomato plant trellises more attractive. After planting tomato and securing wire trellis so that the spiked ends point upwards,gather the four prongs together and put a pretty teacup on top. Hides the ugly prongs and looks festive!
