Recycled Tea Cups, Saucers and Odd Dishes



 I know that everyone
has seen these glue and dish
projects . . .
they are all over Pinterest.


That is what I did this evening 
and thought I would share. 




Good old E6000 glue.




One for a candle.




An another for a bar of 
heavenly smelling soap.




This soap was a little gift
from a friend 
and I wanted to place it
on something special.
It's what started my whole 
craft project :)


That's my post . . .
short and sweet.

Have a lovely weekend
&
God Bless You All

  3. Love them. I've never tried anything like these before though. That E6000 is an awesome glue.

    1. It is. I made some larger ones for cake plates 15 years ago for a baby shower and I'm still using them. That glue sticks great and certainly holds up.

  6. Very pretty and fancy soap dish! I need to find some pretty teacups to do something like this but everytime I find one I fall in love with it and don't want to mess it up with glue!

    1. I know what you're saying. I was like that too, but then I thought . . . I never use them, I just collect and keep them in a cupboard. This craft gives me a chance to use them and add a little something unique around the house.

  7. It looks like you had fun creating your tea cup projects. They're both pretty and useful. (What would we do without a good glue?)

    1. That glue in particular really holds things together. It would be nice if I could use it for my a short-term memory, LOL

  8. I love this idea. I kind of wish I had taken more cups and saucers from my mom's house when we cleared it out, but I guess I could thrift those things, too!

    1. Mine are from thrifting, but having your Mom's would be better, wouldn't it?

  9. wow!!! all of these are wonderful!! i have seen these plenty of times, none as pretty as yours. and this gave me some different ideas on how they can be used!! i have done a few as bird feeders but the squirrels ruined them!!

    1. Those pesty squirrels, they can be a problem. Even the birds. I'm having trouble with a robin that wants to build a nest on my front porch and I've got plenty of trees and bushes that she could choose instead. I don't want bird poop on my porch.

  12. Hi Connie, Both of your little projects are so sweet but I love, love, love the teacup for a soap dish. So pretty and delicate. We had a great camping trip and just got home last night. Today has been laundry and unpacking.
    Blessings and hugs,

  16. Hi Connie..... what a cute idea for the teacups and small china dishes. I've seen larger plates glued on top of things, but this idea of the smaller "holders" is great! Love the one used as a candle holder. I have some treasured teacups that were my mom's cousins' from many many years ago.. they always gave me one for each of my birthdays! I've given many away, but have kept a few. Some were also my grandmother's and my mom's, and I've collected a few others. I wouldn't use those, but antique stores always have many others to choose from! You are always up to something creative and I love it! Love seeing your new ideas, always! YOU have a good Mother's Day.. and hope you and your friend find some good mischief to get into! Hugs to you... Marilyn

    1. Thanks Marilyn, as far as mischief we plan on watching that new Sally Fields movie on Netflix and then sitting out on the porch and eating strawberries and cream. That's about all the mischief we can handle. Happy Mother's Day my friend 🥰

    1. Thank you . . . as for showing up on your list for the first time . . . well that seem strange, but every now and then Blogger does something out of their ordinarily scheme of things.
