You know I have a thing for old things. Vintage, old, antique- every bit is totally my jam! I have been collecting vintage tea cups and bowls for a while now. As I was looking at my collection, I though they would be perfect with some little flowers in them. And I was right. They are perfect!
How to put together Tea Cup Flowers
Supply List for Tea Cup Flower Gifts
- Tea Cups - these are available for less than a dollar at the thrift store. Or you can buy a new set here.
- Potting Soil
- Flowers - I bought an 8-pack of Petunias at Lowes for less than $4.
If you've ever planted flowers, you know exactly how to do this. But if you haven't here are some super simple instructions.
- Pour a little bit of soil into the tea cup. If you plant to keep the flowers in the tea cup long term (btw long term is probably the summer), place a few pebbles into the bottom of the tea cup to help with drainage.
- Grab the flower container that you bought from the nursery.
- Loosen up the soil on the flower container by smooshing it in your hands a little.
- Gently tug the flower out of the container. If it doesn't come out easily, cut or tear the plastic container to release the flower.
- Gently break up the dirt and the roots on the plant.
- Place the flower into cup.
- Fill the cup the rest of the way with soil.
I think these make such a sweet little gift for Mother's Day. You could even put them together in a gift basket with a Mother's Day Vase and some Mother's Day flash cards.
These Tea Cup Flowers are easy to put together and cost very little but make such a sweet Gift for Mother's Day.
