Celebrate big with a bright and colorful Garden of Wonders Birthday (or Unbirthday) Party! One of my favorite elements of the Alice in Wonderland storyline was the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. I loved all the bright colors and goofy characters. The levitating tea pots and cups were so fun and whimsical. When it came time to create a DIY to accompany my Garden of Wonders Party, I just knew I wanted to create Topsy Turvy Tea Party Centerpieces.
Using the paint colors of your choice apply a coat of paint to one DIY Ceramic Teapot Flower Planter and two DIY Ceramic Tea Cup Planters and Saucers. Let Dry.
Apply a second coat of paint as needed.
Once the paint is dry, apply a generous amount of hot glue or E6000® Craft Adhesive Glue on the bottom of the tea cup to adhere it to the saucer.
Apply a generous amount of glue to the rim of a tea cup and stack a tea cup saucer set on top, in an angle. Hold the cup in place until the glue has had enough time to properly bond.
Repeat the same process and stack the Tea Pot on top of the Tea Cup, creating a topsy-turvy effect.
Using the Dip And Dot Paint Dotters, paint polka dots in a contrasting color onto one of the cups if desired. You can also paint hearts, stripes or any other fun design.
Embellish the centerpiece. Ideas include a couple of Silvertone Large Key Charms to the handles with ribbon and a handwritten “Drink Me” tag.
Fill with candy, flowers or simply leave them empty for your tea party! Make more and add them to your wonderfully whimsical tablescape!
