Tea Crafting for the fun of it!

An Adorable TEAPOT Teapot Cozy
When Chris sent me the photo of her work I asked her if I could share it with you.
Adorable. Thank you Chris for sending your photo as an encouragement to
others who would like to make one. Love the lace doily on top!
Here's Chris' reply:
Hi Rae,
Thank you for the compliment. I saw a picture of a tea cozy somewhere
and made my own pattern. There is a teapot under that cozy that
matches the sugar and creamer.
It’s pretty simple to make, just draw a spout and handle and leave
room for your seam allowances. :>). The hardest part was
stuffing the tiny spaces.

Cookie Cutter Doll Tea Favor
|
Easy to Make:
Depending upon the age and skill of those involved, this
project would be a fun party-time craft.
You will need: a cookie cutter, lace or fancy trim, a cute
button, a snip of ribbon and a glue gun.
|
1) Sleeves: Using another piece of pre-ruffled lace,
hot glue one end of a length of lace/fancy trim at the crotch of the
cutter. Wrap the lace up to
one shoulder and spot glue. Wrap the lace/trim
down and around the crotch to the other shoulder. Spot glue and finish
gluing where you
began.
2) Doll's Skirt: Depending on the size of your cookie cutter, cut a 2 1/2" strip of fabric
20" long. Pinking makes it look cute. Hand gather stitch down the middle or
use sewing machine. Alternative: You can use a pre-ruffled lace.
3)Spot glue the skirt near what would be the waist. Tie/spot glue a
ribbon and decorative button at the waist.
4) Hat: Use lace/ribbon bow and hot glue in place. Glitzy if you'd
like.

Make Beaded Teapot Trivet
|
Linda made this cute hanging for her back door. She said it was pretty easy.
Each row dangles free. She knotted the bottom of the row and left some cording
hang. This is just a matter of counting and then stringing. I
think the picture is close enough for you to count the beads.
