*teacup wedding favors*

Next time you see a lonely teacup and saucer who has been lost from it's set, you might be able to use it in many ways, for your wedding, and in your home. I love these teacandles from Etsy.

They would make the perfect wedding favor, as well as adding a little style to your table setting. Just tie the place card name to the handle, and voila, tea for two becomes a three-in-one idea. These teacandles are made from soy wax which is a renewable resource, as well as that traditional paraffin wax is a petroleum byproduct...the cups are reused from long-forgotten china sets, and can be washed out and reused as guess what? Teacups.

                     

                         
The idea for candles came from Martha Stewart (for me anyway)...but after the candles are finished, you can wash them out and use them for pretty storage containers, for jewelry and other little items...here's an image from Martha Stewart I found...but the storage idea I got from my grandmother who did this herself...

                      

                         

Or, you can use you can use the teacups as mini-planter like teleflora....
                      

Or a teacup topiary from SavonCrafts...not my favorite image, but you get the idea.

                         

                            

I have many random teacups doing storage duty in my home, and sometimes they turn into little flower vases too. I see them at every thrift store, just waiting for someone crafty to take them home and give them a job.
