How to make a floating teacup - DIY tutorial

This one was a doozy. In this tutorial, I tackle (for the first time) a floating teacup with sola wood flowers. I'm not gonna lie, I wanted to give up BUT I stuck it out and this could not have come out any cuter. Here is what you'll need for this floating teacup tutorial:

What You'll Need:
Fork
Glue I tried Liquid Nails, E6000, and very hot glue
Masking Tape
Tea Cup & Saucer
Sola Flowers (munchkins now available at the shop)
Greenery
Floral Tape

I love the teacup. I host a tea party every year for my friends. I plan on making a couple of these for door prizes. Thanks for helping me out. You're great and fun to learn from.

Using a little (or a lot) of hot glue for instant hold along with your permanent adhesive (E6000, liquid nail, etc.). This method always works for me, great work!

Great job Stef!! I am glad you showed us how to make these and how long it takes to dry! Thanks for sticking with it! And those munchkins and straw flowers are

I have wanted to do this for a couple years now. It was good to hear the difficulty you experienced. It gives me a better handle on the process when I do it. Very pretty💗

Been seeing this can't wait to tried it

Hi Stef, all good glue ideas. I’ve wrapped color duck tape around the fork. The glue or hot glue adheres to the duck tape. ❤️

I like diying using the E6000 glue it doesn't take as long to dry. And its very very durable

Have you ever tried the type of super glue that has an instant set accelerator? I got it from Amazon and the stuff is awesome. I am going to try this week to see how it works. I also am going to secure the saucer to a white snack plate that is a tad larger to give better stability.

Love it! One thing though, I would have taken that sticker off. Take a look.

I used gorilla construction glue I liked but I’m still trying to figure out how to let it cure and sit a specific way

Spoons have been seen on the floating teacups. It makes sense, why would you use a fork? Anyhow, thank you for sharing.

[ansbach]

New to your channel. This is my first time seeing a video like this (a floating cup). Where have I been? I am looking forward to watching your upcoming video. Thanks for sharing.

[deangelaritter]

Hey will it be ok if I can use duct tape the sticky tape to on the cup on because I noticed that the duck masking tape is not strong enough or is frog tape better to use ?

[yawahviskinda]

Thanks Stef I have been trying to make one for about two months I wasn’t able to so I put it aside I will try it again. O I like your glue gun where did you got it from.
