Pretty table decorations made from cups, sauces and silk flowers. Mix up some plaster, pour into cups and before it sets push in some pretty silk flowers. The clients loved it and they are so pretty :)

I would use Plaster of Paris. You can buy it at Bunnings, a 2.5kg bag is quite cheap.

We made these for our annual "Mothers Day Tea" The ladies are able to invite two quests each for the Tea. Each place setting had a cup and saucer arrangement with a thank you for attending the event that the residents and their guests were able to take with them as a keepsake. We also used all shapes and sizes of Tea Pots and filled with flowers like the cups and they were used as centerpieces on the tables.

My residents did this activity. They loved how they turned out. Our residents and staff thought they were beautiful. I used hot glue to attach the cup to the saucer. I went shopping at the antique malls to find my matching cups and saucers. That was alot of fun for me.

Thanks for the Idea. We have a seniors week high tea coming up and we actually got our social group to create some centrepieces themselves, they look lovely.

hi all, our residents made the cup and saucer table decorations to be used at our major fund -raiser, and we received so many comments of how pretty they looked. The ladies also had a lot of fun choosing their flowers placing them in the cups. I have used many ideas from golden carers... thank you so much . Meredith

Hi all, I was shown a cup and saucer activity out in the community by a lovely client, the same as you suggested Jean but for a pin cushion. Inserting a stainless steel scourer inside this stops the pins from rusting I was told. I have yet to give this a go with my lot where I work. Cheers team xx Lyn xx

Thanks Jean, wonderful idea!

yes lovely idea,
we also used this idea and placed a piece of foam inside the cup wrapped in any decorative fabric to make a pin cushion. Then used any decorations such as beads, flowers, ribbions on the outside of the cup and saucer simply by using glue.

Great idea
