- Floating tea cup. How to make a floating tea cup. Today I will show you how to make these amazing Floating Tea Cups. You can float almost anything as long as the wire you use is strong enough to hold it.
- Навчання та стиль
you can use a dinner fork or even coat hanger wire these will work too, just remember to bend them enough to support the cup . Remember if it tips over just raise the cup higher by gently bending the wire up until it balances. Or hide a weight e.g a flat pebble glued to the saucer and hide it with your decorations.
Thank you
Thank You. 💜
A craft tutorial by a real person?! Someone whose hot glue doesnt dry instantly and shows things can be a bit tricky or fiddly. So refreshing! So many other tutorials make it look so easy that you feel like a failure when its not also super easy for you. Thank you!
I know what you mean. Goss iv been burnt by hot glue so many times I get frightend to pick up the glue gun because mine dosn't dry as quick as I thought.
Lovely! Thank you for sharing. Elegant center pieces for a tea party

Your cups are adorable. I love your watches. I've just started crafting this past year and trying to collect supplies I need, without having to stop and search for certain items then wait on them. I'm going to order some watches today. That is one of many things I don't have and I see how cute they are and how many different things I could use them on. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

Bejay
Your welcome and remember you can use anything you want as the decoration I saw one when I was in America and it had photographs of the area pouring from it. The lady was selling them as gifts Believe it or not when I asked about it she said she followed a Scottish lady's tutorial on UA-cam and was gobsmacked when I told her it was me...
They are gorgeous! 😍🤓👍💗
Thank you so much
Amazing; thanks for sharing! Also really liked the 'Star Wars" scrolling at the end.
Thank you its in the editing program I use

I especially like the Tea cup watches project. It so unusual and interesting. I want to try it!! New subbie. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much.
This was so much fun to do. My daughter has the cup as she loves things like this
Hi, new to your channel and I am in ore of your creations .. truly stunning , I have a channel of my own here on UA-cam and just lately made one of these , before I came across your channel... my teacup was fairies down by the garden... as I made fairies on the saucer , and a small pond etc , I used a tea spoon to hold my cup up ... and I just find watching yours inspiring...so thank you so much for sharing xxx
Your welcome and thank you for watching. Come join my facebook craft group and post a pic if you haven't already. I'd love to see it.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel hi alison , no i havent seen your facebook group eould love to join what ia it called ..i have a 1tb group too , you d be more than welcome to come to mine any day ..
I read somewhere you were aiming for a UA-cam play button did you get one after xxxx
Very pretty!
thank you for watching and for the kind comment
Love this, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to comment and watch my channel xx
Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing your crafty skills and ideas, I will be having a go at some. Your videos are great and very well explained, unlike others on you tube that tend to over complicate the easiest of tasks. Keep up the good work. ;-)
I am not mocking myself or anyone else but I am a simple person who likes simple instructions, so I try to do the same with my tutorials. I too find some tutorials difficult to follow or they are too quick so I try to keep mine easy but still get great results with the make.
Gorgeous!
Thank you.
this is amazing just amazing how do you manage to make something so beautiful out of old junk. it's so simple but amazing I love this. you are so talented. thank you. my mum is going to subscribe too iv showed her how.
Thank you loopy hope you give this a try and your mum, remember and decorate it how you like whatever old junk you have. Try bolts and screws and nails for a man and use a mug as long as the wire is strong or even use a fork just bent the tines and a small part of the handle into the same sort of shape i did with the wire only without the hoop. Have fun that's what crafting is about
What a lovely idea.
Thank you
l Love this with the Clocks & beads combined.
It's fab and so different too.
I love it I am going to try to make one I love the time for tea
you can use ANYTHING you have at hand, coffee beans, flowers, almost anything you can glue to the wire and cup.
I will definitely try this ,its lovely
Thank you Brenda xx
Thanks to all your absolutely marvelous tutorials I now have a new hobby! It is so relaxing, I can just lose myself and all my stress just floats away. Here is a suggestion: if you put a clear glass saucer under your base (saucer) it will add more stability. Thanks so much.
Irene, Thank you for the fab tip, I never thought of that thank you xx
Alison Russell's Craft Channel What’s a clear glass saucer and where do you find them. Can you tell I’m new with this LOL. will continue to watch and learn thank you
thanks for the share, this is going to be my next project x
Thank you very much xx
This tutorial is great! Loving the accent, dear. Sláinte!
Thank you so much, Dee
hi alison love your clock tutorial, was wondering where do you get your cups and saucers from as they are adorable???
from a charity shop they always have china tea sets. Remember if you buy any old ones chech the bottom and google the brand and stamp because some can be worth a lot of money. My sister got some that were worth £20 each and she paid £1 for 6. There are a lot of sites that buy old ones for people who have broken ! cup or saucer and need it replaced. She gave a donation to the charity shop and bought herself some craft items with the rest.
Wow very nicevjob love dragonnflys....lol. beautiful work
Thank you very much!
nice. i love it
Thank you
I am new subscriber..I have a daughter named Alison and her husband wasRussell...she had an Alison Wonderland collection so I am making this for a gift
Thank you so much for subscribing, Joan. This will be a fab project and gift for your daughter's collection you could even add a white rabbit to it. I didn't have one to hand when I made this.
Its lovely. So does the music.
Thank you so much
Gorgeous 🤗

I'm gonna make this floating Te cup for my niece for her Birthday party, thank you
Your welcome try it with a drinks can or even a drinks box, a mini drinks bottle and use hot glue as the liquid pouring out, colour thee hot glue when it gets cold with a sharpie pen to make it look like cola, orange ect
Beautiful.
thank you remember you can decorate it whatever way you like i saw one done with coffee beans and a coffee cup.
WOW! LOVE YA
Thank you xx
love "time for tea" - very cool
Thank you, I adore this one. I did a coffee one with coffee beans. My friend gave it to her mother who is a coffee addict and works in a coffee shop. She ended up making them herself and sold 60.
Good ideas
Glad you like them!
I love the time pieces ❣️❣️❣️Almost like “Alice in Wonderland.” Love love love
thank you
Alison, love the tea cups. Can you please tell me which wire you use? Thank You. Mary.🏴💜
you can use coat hanger wire that works brilliant if you have an old wire coat hanger or thick garden wire
Beautiful idea, and unusual, 🌹🌼💐
thank you
FYI, sometimes I work on freezer paper because it's very protective & use old vinyl table cloths or show curtains that are not in bad shape to protect my table tops.
great idea, PoGirl thank you
It's a very beautiful project I have a question have you ever had a problem with the cup coming separated from the hot glue after a period of time or did it stay
Not so far, Mine has stayed put. The cups I use are quite small. You could join my craft group on Facebook it is called Craftytwunts someone may be able to advise you. We have over 16,000 members and it is free to join.
Brilliant have made my first floating tea cup and its lovely (even if I do say so myself) would have liked to post a pic but don't know how xx
go onto Facebook and join my craft page craftytwunts you can post all your craft pics on there. You can also sell craft de-stash and add your etsy shop link if you have one or you can even sell your makes on the craftytwunts page. Tahnks for watching xx see you on our Facebook page xx
When do you use high heat or low heat on your glue gun. I am a first time viewer of your channel & will be a subscriber. I like the way you explain your tutorial & will be looking forward to more of them. Thank you for your clear directions🥰
Mine only has 1 heat setting high,
Great video, and I love the accent.
thank you
I would use some sort of cement a real strong glue I've had experience with making these tea cups the glue gun and eventually the clue separates from the porcelain depending on the temperature of the Room. I love making them! I love the "Time for tea" tea cup ❤
yes you can do that.
Hello great video. Where can I get the bendable wire please?
I used coat hanger wire or try the garden section in shops
abolutely brilliant love them .
thank you. You can try other things to float like drinks cans, empty sweet packets etc.
Is there a name for the thick wire you use can only find the thin stuff .😐
Try coat hanger wire, I used garden wire for climbing roses. My neighbor gave it to me. I have used wire coat hangers before or a bent over fork. Loads of people use a fork and hot glue to stick it.
Thanks Alison ☺
Glad I found you're channel, New Sub, TYFS this project, Loved this so much Beautiful, Wendy, From: Kentucky USA.. ❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍❤💚👍
Thank you so much xx
Hi Alison where did you get your wire from?? Looked for it today but had no luck?? Thanks x
I got it from the garden section. You can use a wire coat hanger if you have one, or even a bent food fork. After I made this my sister Sandra made hers with coat hanger wire. They turn out great. I hope this helps xx
wow!
Thank you
Beautiful mother's day
Merci
thanks
Donde compras ese alambre y como se llama el álambre porfavoor
gosh i didn't realize how often I said the word "Little" ha ha ha ha
very clever thank you for a straight forward tutorial Awesome
thank you for watching,
What thickness wire do you use? Xx
anything that will stay bent, even a wire from a coat hanger will work or a fork
Hello Alison! Im Willow-sage from victoria b.c canada
New subscriber
Whwre r u from in Scotland? Im married to a Scot mum was from Edinburgh! Great video
Much thanks xx
In the countryside but only 20 min or so drive from Edinburgh
Love your video , I do DIYs in my channel
Wonderful I have had a look and your craft makes are wonderful xx i also subscribed
how do you make the cup and saucer waterfalls and rivers
If you want it too look like water then use hot glue. You can paint the glue blue like water. or even brown like tea.
i surely will look you up on fb x
I love your accent! 💕
where are you from?
Thank you, I am from Scotland
Where did you buy theses clocks
My daughter bought them from a car boot sale for me from a watch repairman.
Where did you get the clock on thhe tea cup
My daughter gave me a box of old watch parts she bought at a car boot sale.
can we use plastic cup instead of ceramic one?
I don't see why not It is something I never thought of, you could give it a try if it tips over you will have to hide a weight of some kind on the plate. Be careful the hot glue don't melt the cup
👍
Hi.. just wondering where to buy the watch parts please.. thank you
My daughter bought them at a car boot sale from a man who fixes watches. She only paid a few pounds for them. I added bits from old watches I had too.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel ok thanks
What kind glue to use
I used hot glue
Its me im haveing trouble with makeing my Forks and bend they break on me ☆ Alot ☆ I noticed that when there heavy cups its harder for me to get them to be on the saucer with out falling back ☆ Please help me ☹
Connie, I would try wrapping the fork in a kitchen towel then slowly bed it or use twisted thick wire, It dosn't have to be a fork. You can hide some bolts in the sacer to weight it down if it tips over. I got these smaller cups at a charity shop bone china cups are lighter too.
Amazng
I evn tried but i couldnt attach a fork wd hot glue gun as it pull out aftr few minutes
I used a lot of glue and held it to set propped it on books until it went hard.
love ths wonderful craft!! did a video too!
I couldnt stop laughing I HAVE THOSE EXACT TEA SET AND DINNER SERVICE HAHAH
I subscribed I love your channel xx
Oh my gosh thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed it my whole channel is all about fun and crafting and a different way I love making costumes and cause playing and hanging out with young people and teaching everyone that crafting is easy if you just try but your stuff is beautiful
Firstly thank you I appreciate the comment. It is amazing what kids can come up with from a box of junk. I have been doing crafts since I was 8 I got a silver foil kit for Christmas hahaha I was amazed and thought I had something worth a fortune but I saw one like it at a car boot sale and thought Oh my gosh it was just a silver card and a sharp stick. I had to score around a template of a hummingbird cut it out fold parts of it and that was it but to me, it was a work of art.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel well I'm definitely glad I found you I'm following you on Instagram as well and just requested to be a part of your Facebook crafting group
where can i find them watch pieces
I got mine from my daughter, she asked a car boot seller who repairs watches if he had any he would never use he gave her the box of bits. It might even be worth going into a watch repair shop and asking there too. I even keep all my old watches and clocks i just take bits off them.
thank you , i will check in to that
Two part appoxy holds better than the hot glue!!
it will also work yes.
Not sure if anyone else has asked this because I didn't read through all the comments, but can you use E6000 instead of a hot glue gun, or is the hot glue gun the best glue to use? I've also seen people use forks instead of wire....
Yes I think you can i have heard others say they used it. It is use a lot in the USA for all sorts of crafting.
I want to make this but knowing my luck I'd get up the next morning and it would all be apart
plenty glue, this made me laugh as my 1st one did that because I didn't use enough glue
Keep at it this is a fab hobby, A mantra for you every morning say " I will achieve small, but great things" Every prosses has to be learned through trial and error. Even our first steps as a baby so don't give up, NEVER GIVE UP you can give IN and try a different approach but never give UP.
