Those are so nice. I love doing them. I have a few more to make but you can do so much with the teacups and they are cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. Great job.

Very nice. I have a couple of odd and end teacups that I need to put to good use. Good job!

They really are pretty.

Yes, I use the glue gun to glue the cushion to the inside of the cup and use crazy glue to glue the cup to the saucer.

I had been collecting them for a couple of years, but am now downsizing as my husband passed away in April and I was going to get rid of them, but saw some on the internet and figured that I could put them to use.

Oh, yummm! The brown one makes me want a hot chocolate with whipped cream! These are really, really cute. If I may ask, how did you fill the bottom of the cup to get the pin cushion to set so nicely on top?
