Step 1 – Prepare the Teacups
Clean the teacups and saucers well and let them dry completely. Make sure there is no dust or grease so the glue sticks properly.
Step 2 – Drill a Hole
Carefully drill a hole in the center of each saucer. The hole should be large enough for the broom handle to pass through.
Step 3 – Glue the Cups
Glue each teacup onto its saucer using strong waterproof glue. Let them dry for several hours so they become very solid.
Step 4 – Assemble the Structure
Insert the broom handle through the holes in the saucers and arrange the cups at different heights. This creates a beautiful stacked effect.
Step 5 – Secure Everything
Add glue under each saucer to keep them in place on the broom handle. Let the entire structure dry overnight.
Step 6 – Place in the Garden
Push the broom handle into the soil in your garden or place it in a large flower pot filled with soil or stones to keep it stable.
Creative Ways to Use It
This DIY decoration is not just beautiful — it can also be useful:
- Bird Feeder: Fill the cups with bird seeds.
- Mini Flower Pots: Plant small flowers or succulents.
- Candle Holder: Place outdoor candles inside for a magical evening look.
