Its so simple with just a few easy steps
First pick a teacup and make sure it is clean and dry, choose some co-ordinating fabric and button
Place the teacup upside down on the fabric and draw a much larger circle on the fabric as a template, then cut out
Using a quick running stitch, just a little away from the edge of the fabric, stitch all the way around
Then pull the thread which will gather the fabric and look something like this, then stuff with stuffing until fit to bursting!
It should then look something like this
With your co-ordinating button stitch in place on the top of the fabric from the bottom of the stuffing
Using a hot glue gun, a little under the top edge of the teacup, make a line all the way around of glue (this needs to be done quickly as the glue sets very fast!) then place your fabric ball in the tea cup and hold in place until the glue has set and the fabric doesnt move
and voila, a fun handmade gift for someone
Add some pretty pins to make it even more special
