Your kids have grown up. Now they have even left home. But they have left their toys behind. It is time for a yard sale. But maybe, there are ways you can use some of their toys.

If you have a look at some of the toys lying around, you will find that that there are many tea sets among them. The best thing about them is that you can easily use them to decorate your home.

You can use shredded paper for this. Yes, just stop putting shredded paper into the recycle bin. Instead, use it to decorate your cups. Just place the paper inside your children’s tea cups.

Once you have placed the paper inside the cups, what you need are a bunch of artificial flowers. For this you will need to go down to your nearest arts and crafts store.

Before putting it into the cup, you need to do cut off the stems of the flowers. This will ensure that the flowers are easily placed on top of the cup. And if you don’t like this idea, you can also turn the cups into small candy dishes.

To make a candy dish, you need to stick a large piece of rubber at the bottom. Your nearby crafts store will have these rubber pieces available. Also get some extra strong glue to stick the rubber pieces at the bottom of the cup.

The best glue for this purpose would be wood glue. First, you need to place the cup on the rubber piece. Use a sharp razor to cut the rubber in the shape of the cup.

Now put the extra strong glue on the rubber piece. The cup needs to be then gently pressed on top of the glue. Make sure to hold the cup for a few seconds so that it sticks to the rubber. Now it is time to let the glue dry.

Your candy dish is ready and now you need to place the candy in it. The rubber will make sure that the cups don’t slide all over the table. The tea cups will work as a great decoration piece in your room.

This candy dish can also be used as a centerpiece in your kitchen. You can place mints in it for times when you have guests in your house. If you have a party in your house or even a small gathering, this can be used as a centerpiece on such occasions too.
