PDF Rose Tea Party Set

In anticipation of warmer, sunny days and with Mother's Day on the horizon, I have created this pretty printable rose tea party set!

Consisting of a beautiful teapot box with removable lid and a matching teacup and saucer these easy to assemble favour boxes are certain to delight and will be the talk of the party!

I've also included a larger version of the saucer, which will make a perfectly matching tea plate / side plate, just right for holding wrapped chocolates or biscuits!

The templates are available as full colour PDFs and are designed for use on A4 photo quality paper (white, glossy 220-250gsm / 80-90lb recommended), however they can be re-sized before printing. All of the instructions are written clearly in English.

To make your very own rose favour box tea set, you will need:

* Rose Tea Party Set templates (PDF)

* Computer and printer to print the PDF templates

* Plain white cardstock or photo quality paper (glossy 220-250gsm / 80-92lb recommended)

* Craft glue / double-sided tape

* Craft knife / scissors

* Scoring tool

* Ruler

Approximate dimensions of teapot box: 16cm (W) x 10.2cm (H) x 7.8cm (D) / 6.3" (W) x 4" (H) x 3.1" (D).

Approximate dimensions of teacup: 11cm (W) x 4.7cm (H) x 8cm (D) / 4.3" (W) x 1.85" (H) x 3.15" (D).

Approximate dimensions of tea plate: 12cm (W) x 1.2cm (H) x 11cm (D)  /  4.7" (W) x 0.5" (H) x 4.3" (D). 

Watch my video tutorial showing how to assemble the boxes and be sure to follow the tips below:

TIP 1 : Printing the PDF templates onto glossy photo paper will give the boxes a realistic, shiny finish.

TIP 2 : Match the patterned hexagon with the pattern on the saucer (and the tea plate) to give it a seamless look.

TIP 3 : For the teapot lid, start at the left side and tuck the six flaps into each other so that they all meet in the centre.

You can print and make as many of these items as you wish and fill them with lots of little treats! Perfect for Mother's Day celebrations, wedding favours, afternoon tea parties and so much more!

I really hope you like this pretty tea set and will feel inspired to create your very own!

Paper Flower Tutorial

Following on from my paper rose tutorial, I now have a video showing how I create the different paper flowers that adorn the top of some of my teapot boxes. They are really simple to make and, I think you'll agree, they give the teapots a more elaborate quality!

I hope this inspires you to create some of your own different paper flowers. You can use a matching colour or a contrasting colour to add that extra special finishing touch to your teapot boxes.

Teapot Box Tutorial

My latest video tutorial gives step-by-step instructions on how to assemble my teapot favour box.

In the video, I recreate this red teapot using the template which can be found in my Etsy shop. I really hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to create your own little teapot favour boxes.

Happy crafting!

Paper Rose Tutorial

One of the features of my teapot boxes is the little rose finial that sits on top of the lid. Sometimes they can be a little tricky to create, and I admit that the instructions on my template may be a little sketchy. So, for this reason, I have created a video tutorial, which gives more detailed information on how to create the paper rose.

Teacup Template

To complement my Teapot Treats gift boxes, my matching teacup and saucer template is now available as a PDF download.

The template is designed to fit on A4 (but can be re-sized) which will make a teacup approximately 4.7 x 8 x 11cm. It has clear instructions (in English) and can be purchased through my Etsy shop.

To make one of your own, you will need:

• PDF template
• Patterened or coloured cardstock (200-250gsm recommended)
• Craft knife / scissors
• Scoring tool
• Ruler
• Craft glue / PVA
• Embellishments (optional)

To add detail to these teacups, I also added a light touch of gold to the edges of the cup, handle and saucer.

For those of you who will soon be hard at work, crafting your own little tea sets, I would love to display some of your wonderful creations here!

Happy crafting!

Steampunk Tea Set

At last! Here it is. My matching teacup and saucer to complement my latest steampunk teapot.

I am thrilled with how this set has turned out!

The saucer has a small doily on it, delicately matching the top of the teapot lid. 

The perfect unique gift for any tea-lover.
