O. M. G. Let’s start with the fact that we are about to have a TEA PARTY! I am already feeling sophisticated just writing about this project from A Kailo Chic Life. She uses some permanent adhesive vinyl. Next she cuts out vinyl flower and confetti shapes and puts them on the teacups like stickers. Tea-Tastic! She even provides cut files for the confetti pieces and flower pieces. Swoon! The end result of this pretty craft is SO Pinterest worthy.

This is where you might stop and think: “But I don’t have teacups!” Ok, couple things. First, go get some teacups! What are you a heathen?!? Here’s a marvelous set of Six White Porcelain Cups for your new chic adulthood. While you wait for their delivery, put the marvelous vinyl details on the outer rim of a plate of cookies! BAM!
