Teacup and Saucer Tutorial

My Teacup and Saucer Favour Box is one of my most popular templates and perfectly complements my bestselling Teapot Favour Box.


The little teacup can be filled with delicious treats and makes an ideal gift for any tea-lover! Perfect for birthday parties, wedding favours, Mother's day gifts, tea parties and so much more!

To make a teacup and saucer, you will need:

Teacup Favour Box template (PDF and SVG available)
* Computer and printer to print the PDF template and instructions
* Digital cutting machine
* Double-sided, patterned cardstock (220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)
* Craft glue / double-sided tape

If you are not using a cutting machine you will also need:

* Craft knife / scissors
* Scoring tool
* Ruler

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the teacup and saucer, and be sure to follow the tips below.


TIP 1: When attaching the handle, position it a couple of millimetres up from the second score line.

TIP 2: If you are using patterned cardstock, try turning the hexagon pieces until the pattern matches up or looks right with the rest of the saucer.
