Fancy A Spot Of Tea?

One project I have been meaning to try for ages is a tea caddy so I was really pleased when I finally got around to making one recently. As happens so often with 3D projects, it really wasn't as difficult as I imagined! I decided to try another and make some adaptations.

Now, as this was made for DD14, polka dots were an absolute given, as was a green teapot! I had some handles left over from an easel drawer card project a while back (see here if interested), so added one to the lid to make it easy to get on and off. The base is covered chipboard to make it nice and sturdy and I will be giving the whole thing a coat or two of sealant which will hopefully protect it from the "elements" (ie the chaos that ensues in the kitchen!). The teabags inside are not green just to colour match - DD's favourite is Irish Breakfast!!!

It is just over 4"tall and holds 12 tea bags quite comfortably.

Materials used:

• card - real red, whisper white, gumball green, polka dots dsp, chipboard, in colours patterned paper
• other - windows framelits dies, dimensionals, sticky strip, Big Shot
• non SU - handle, teapot die

I am pleased to report that DD loves it and can't wait to start using it, so I am very happy with my efforts! No doubt DD20 will be wanting one now as well!

As the theme is polka dots over at Just Add Ink this week, I'm entering it for that challenge.

Thanks for dropping in.

Cheers
