I have been thinking about my Christmas decorations for quite some time but I can finally enjoy them fully now that Thanksgiving decorations are packed away. My favorite decoration this year being Christmas countdown calendars. This one is made with my collection of tea cups. Each one is filled with tea. I think it's important to remember to take time to reflect and relax each day during this busy time of year.
Materials and tools:
24 tea cups
24 tea bags
peg board and hooks
paint
faux wood graining tool
Christmas paper
Computer and printer
Sticker paper
Christmas lights
I scored a piece of peg board at
Eco-Set. A company here in Los Angeles that recycles set pieces to artists and students.
I gave it a faux wood finish with
Americana Decor Chalky Finish by DecoArt with a
faux wood graining tool.
I printed out the numbers on sticker paper and stuck them on Christmas scrapbook paper that I cut into circles with a
Sizzix Big Shot Plus.
I taped the tea bag to the back of the circle of paper and placed them in each tea cup.
It was fun to arrange all the tea cups and I think it makes a nice was to display them.
I hope you have a wonderful pre-Christmas season and enjoy moments of crafting and relaxing.
