Tea Decor Anyone?

Ran across some DIY tea decor projects using old teaware that I thought were simply charming. Has anyone done anything like these?

Is that a tealight holder in the first one? That’s so sweet!

Not sure..it might be they made it electric and used a small clear flame shaped lightbulb..wouldnt be hard to make,especially with a dremel cutting bit, and you could get all the electrical components at the DIY store.(I made a hanging lamp out of a basket that way).Either way, candle or electric its adorable :)

One easy thing I did recently was turn a teapot, which had some hairline cracks but was otherwise sound, into a planter for an orchid. It now sits on the ledge of my bathtub. I just couldn’t bear to throw a teapot away! I’m not very creative or crafty, so this was all I could think of to do with it. I have seen some interesting mosaic projects online to do with broken tea pots/cups however.
