Hi Heidi! Handles are made of Styrofoam heart wreaths from Hobby Lobby, Walmart or any craft store. Get the size you think and a size smaller and extra if you overcut. Crack the heart in half, then cut/shave it down to the size of your cup with a small paring knife. Get it pretty close to flush and then hot glue it on. The hot glue will melt the Styrofoam somewhat but just hang on to it and press into the cup. It will stay and actually, kind of mold to fit!
Hi Andrea, Awesome video! Great idea I've been looking everywhere on how to make giant tea cups for an Alice and Wonderland party I'm planning... What did you use for the handle? (Is it the heart Styrofoam you mentioned in another video?) And what did you use to glue it with? Please Help.
Hi VaLa. Yes, The handles are the Styrofoam craft hearts (Hobby Lobby or any craft store, even Walmart sometimes) broken or cut in half. There are 3 different sizes I think I used mainly the medium for the pink pot size and I ended up making a bunch of small teacups with small sized hearts and small pots. You will need to cut handle down a few times to get it to fit your bowl/pot with just the right angle. Buy a few extra. Use a super sharp knife, it's easier than a hot foam cutter, just use a cutting board and be careful. I used a hot glue gun to bond it together. Yes, the glue will melt foam a bit but less than you would assume. Put the glue on the pot not directly on the foam and press and hold handle for about 2 - 3 minutes. I noticed they still have some of these exact pots in Lowes stores here in the south. I spray painted some of them pure flat white that covered in about 3 coats. Let me know if you have any more questions. Good Luck!
+Ron Brunk Hi Ron. Sorry, I don't sell these. Go to Lowes, buy one of these plastic pots, cut or saw off the top edge. Buy a Styrofoam heart at Hobby Lobby Walmart or Michaels and break it in half for the handle. You will need to shave it off to fit the pot. Then hot glue it on. Super easy. For the cream, I covered the pot insert with brown fabric with hot glue added the small rope and used scrapbook paper for the tag. Glue the rope to the bottom and then glue in the "cream" base. Have fun!

What did you use to make the handles
If you glued two big bowls together you could add the handle and boom giant tea pot! Too! Thank you this helped me so much with a project I'm doing!
Awesome video!! May I purchase these tea pots from you? Please. Let's chat!!🎉😊
different sizes will look great.
Love this idea! What is the handle made out of?
