Craft-Tea

Months ago, I came across a blog called Designsponge and it was love at first sight when i saw the teapot lamp she created, so beautiful! I havent been brave enough to follow her tutorial as I dont have a large collections of teapots/cups for making the lamp and if i did, i'm scared of making a mistake and losing my precious china eventhough most i bought in charity shop for cheap prices, still...i dont have the heart to use them for my project.

Until...a few days ago, i dropped one of the teapot that i bought long ago from a charity shop, the lid was chipped a little bit and since i probably bought it for less than £5, i thought to myself, well here's your chance to make that lamp you wanted. So I did..

It's just an experiment so if i failed making it, i'm not too upset about it, I didn't even use teacups to stack on the teapot like in the tutorial, as i said, it's just an experiment. I didn't use a drill either, i just hide the lamp cable behind the teapot, as for the lamp itself, it's also from charity shop that i bought awhile back for £2 including the lamp shade, so all i did was super gluing them inside the teapot and added artificial flowers that i glued on a small plate to keep them in place and so the lamp wont wobble and secured.

I still want to try to make the lamp like in the tutorial though, maybe one day once i have the proper tools and spare china collection to play with. Because of this, I didn't make or bake cakes for my tea time tuesday submission, I do however enjoying the fresh taste of fruit salad consists of strawberries, Melon and papaya with whipped cream on top. Summer is a bliss.

Untill next time..

Happy Tea Time Tuesday!
