101 ways to cute up vintage teacups

teacup05_lights There are so many things you can do to repurpose a vintage tea cup.

My next non sewing project, besides hanging pictures, is going to be making a tea cup hanging light. I couldn’t find a tutorial online but I figure it has to be pretty easy. All I need are some lamp parts or even some old Christmas lights, a ceramic bit for my drill and ceramic glue or even super glue.

The teacup lights pictured were made by Domestic Construction and they’ll make them to order for you!

teacup03_dadcandle Making a candle out of an old teacup, like this one from LuCrafts on Etsy, would make a nice present too. You can find a tutorial for making a soy teacup candle by Cheeky Stitch on Instructables.
