Tea Cup Flower Arrangements

These darling, candy-striped flower arrangements could be used as favors for a bridal shower or at a bridesmaid's luncheon. We filled vintage teacups with yellow and pink roses and then placed a cheery flag in each arrangement! The best part is that the tea cups can be used forever after the flowers fade away. 

You will need:

 -Old tea cups (we found ours at a thrift store for less than $5)

-2 small roses, 1 large rose, 1 dahlia bud, 1 stem of sedum per arrangement

-Cardstock

-Calligraphy pen

-Long toothpicks

Instructions: 

1. Fill tea cups with cold water.

2. Cut stems of roses about 1 inch short and placed them in the teacup.

3. Fill in the space between the roses with sedum and then added a dahlia bud poking up out of the side.

4. Cut a piece of cardstock about 1.5 inches wide and 8 inches long.

5. Fold the cardstock in half and cut a v in the end so it looks like a ribbon.

6. Tape a long toothpick to the inside of the flag and then wrote in a calligraphy pen on each flag.

7. Display the teacups at the entrance to your event. We chose a candy-striped cotton to echo the colors of the teacups and roses.
