step3

3.

NOW SUPPORT THE TEACUP ON A STAND TO GLUE THE HANDLE OF THE FORK INSIDE THE TEACUP.

4.

BALANCE THE TEACUP WITHOUT SUPPORT TO SEE HOW MUCH PEBBLES OR MARBLES WILL BE NEEDED TO COUNTERBALANCE THE TEACUP.

5.

ONCE THE TEACUP IS BALANCED AND CAN STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION ON ITS OWN, START COVERING THE FORK WITH MOSS AND LEAVES.

6.

ADD THE FLOWERS.

7.

ADD RIBBONS OR GEMS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO ENHANCE THIS PRETTY GIFT.

This craft is inexpensive and should not take any longer than a hour. Its difficulty is entirely dependent on your levels of patience and how elaborate you want the final product to be. You can also use this with fresh flowers, but secure oasis foam in the teacup and the saucer first. Happy Mother’s Day!
