VINTAGE TEACUP
by Prudence Rogers
YOU WILL NEED:
White card
Floral patterned paper
Striped paper
Decorative edge punch
White paper
Craft knife
Glue stick
Gold pen
1. Using the template, cut out the teacup design from thick white card with a craft knife. Fold the card in half down the centre.
2. Cut out a piece of floral patterned paper following the bowl section of the teacup template and glue onto the white folded card.
3. Cut out a piece of striped paper following the lower portion of the template and glue in place.
4. Use the edge punch to cut a scalloped strip 2cm (³⁄4in) deep along the edge of the white paper. Ensure that your strip is long enough to cover the width of the cup.
5. Glue the white paper to the top of the card and trim the edges to fit. Draw decorative details on the top rim, base and handle with a gold pen.
6. If desired, repeat steps 2–5 to decorate the back of the card in the same way.
TIPS AND IDEAS:
Go for a bold look by using plain coloured card or metallic card instead of patterned paper to decorate your teacup.
Use combinations of patterned papers to create different patterns, such as stripes.
This card design would be great for tea party invitations – you could create a range of teacups in different colours, and even use the template to make place cards.
