This idea is so clever! I can’t wait for my next shabby chic tea party opportunity to try it out. It’s a bit similar to these DIY cakestands but with teacups for beautiful votive holders.
Disney of Ruffles & Stuff, who to my sadness wrote her last post just recently, shared this creative idea in June. I will miss her beautiful talent! But the blog is still alive so we can continue to meander through it every once in a while for inspiration. Hope she’s enjoying much more mummyhood time now.
Candlesticks are great thrift finds and it would be easy to adhere a teacup to each with a bit of epoxy or super glue. I fill my teacup votives (shown here in this vintage shower scape) with rice to keep the wax from settling at the bottom of the cup.
Oh, I love these!
A woman at my church has made these type of pedestal dishes made of china and candlesticks or even pretty glassware. They’re so pretty and perfect when you have pieces that don’t make a full dining set.
Perfect idea for decorating an afternoon bridal shower tea party! It’s so easy to do yet so elegant.
