Egg Carton Tea Cup Cards for Mother’s Day

Spring is here, and along with it comes Mother’s Day. Today we have a super easy Mother’s Day card idea for kids or adults to make, in the shape of a tea-cup.

This upcycled Mother’s Day card idea is a fun way to give a moment of peace and quiet with a cup of tea that she can enjoy at home or on a hot tub breakaway.

. What a simple and easy way to appreciate Moms!

At the moment, I am loving the signs of Spring that are popping up – like the daffodils I have on my kitchen windowsill which make me smile as I’m busy crafting away with the kids, listening to our favourite songs and taking time to chat and enjoy each other’s company.

So I chose to reflect sunny and bright happy yellows in this crafty project together. We made these simple tea cup cards that can hold a tea bag so that you can give to your mum, or to friends to “have a cup of tea on us”.

My boys had made me something similar before for Mother’s Day and I thought it was a lovely idea, so we made some more. They would be a fun way to spread a little happiness, to cheer up a friend or show appreciation.

Supplies

To make these tea cup cards you will need (per card)

• 1 Blank card
• Piece of coloured paper
• 1 cut up egg box (you can get 4 cups out of a 6 egg box – one per corner)
• 1 small piece of pipe cleaner
• 1 Twinings teabag in your favourite variety
• Glue
• Flower shapes or stickers to decorate (optional)

How to Make

Then it’s just a case of assembling everything on to the card and gluing it all down.

Make sure the egg carton cup is stuck down firmly to hold your tea securely.

You can mix up the colours and designs to reflect your own favourite colours and the things that make you happy. Maybe sparkly or glittery is what always makes you smile.

You can look out for different colored egg cartons like we used blue and yellow, and I have also seen green egg boxes around. Or if you prefer a simple look, traditional brown egg cartons are just as effective – or you can even paint them!
