A Teacup Chandelier

My version of a teacup chandelier upcycle....I found some old teacups, spray painted a chandelier light fixture to match them, and bonded the teacups to each section with E6000 glue (wonderful stuff!).  Here it is shown with fresh flowers in each cup, but it could also be used to hold tealights and hung in the garden to enjoy at dusk.

Upcycle Project for the Garden

Very old chipped Blue Ridge Pottery teacups with broken handles are bonded to a heavy iron candelabra which was painted bright celery green.  It can be used in the garden as a bird feeder or a planter for small vining plants

Farmhouse Style Storage Box

My latest project is a vintage wood box upcycle. I painted the box, then distressed it slightly.  I decoupaged it with pretty farmhouse style papers and the cow image from The Graphics Fairy.  The box was then sealed with spray sealer and the metal knob added to the top.  Use it to store your vintage findings, trinkets, charger cords, whatever you like.  I am adding it to my Etsy shop.

Children's Photography Prop
