If you are a parent whose children have grown up and moved out, then you must be wondering what to do with their toys.
Well, how about using them for decorating your house? If you have a look at some of the toys lying around, you will find that that there are many tea sets among them.
The best thing about them is that you can easily use them to decorate your home.
You can make use of some old shredded paper.
Most of us just throw shredded paper in the recycle bin.
How about just putting it in your children's tea cups? Once you have placed the paper, put a few artificial flowers on top of it.
You can easily find these flowers in a nearby crafts store.
What you need to do is remove the stems.
This way the bunches will be placed on the top of the cups easily.
It is quite possible that you don't like the idea of using artificial flowers.
Then maybe you can use the tea cups as candy dishes.
To make a candy dish, you need to stick a large piece of rubber at the bottom.
Your nearby crafts store will have these rubber pieces available.
Also get some extra strong glue to stick the rubber pieces at the bottom of the cup.
Wood glue is quite a good option for this.
All you need to do is place the cup on the rubber piece and cut the rubber to get the shape of the tea cup.
Now just put some glue on the rubber and place the cup on it.
If you press the cup for a few seconds, the cup will stick to the rubber.
The next thing that you need to do is just let the glue to dry.
Your candy dish is ready and now you need to place the candy in it.
The rubber will make sure that the cups don't slide all over the table.
The tea cups will work as a great decoration piece in your room.
This candy dish can also be used as a centerpiece in your kitchen.
You can place mints in it for times when you have guests in your house.
If you have a party in your house or even a small gathering, this can be used as a centerpiece on such occasions too.
