Freelance Friday: Thrifty Tea Pot Makeover
Little girls love to play with a charming tea set. It is one of the most adorable things to watch. The little girls get all dressed up, and have tea together, like grown ladies. Normally, to be on the safe side the tea sets they play with are plastic. Plastic dishes around kids is of course the most logical way to go, however if you feel your little girls can handle a real mini tea pot, why not try creating this thrifty tea pot? This tea pot was found for $5 from a thrift store. Nat and Holly from My Sister's Suitcase brought this tea pot to life, by adding some paint from the new Martha Stewart craft line. Click here to see how they created this project. Your little girls are sure to love this at their next tea party :)
