In Lewis Carroll’s classic “Alice in Wonderland,” the tea party scenes are perhaps the most memorable;
the nonsense conversations, silly characters and, of course, ‘the very happy un-birthday’ song.
This fun craft will bring you back to that Wonderland scene and also doubles as a great mother’s day gift as it is
100% eco friendly, pretty and ia useful nostalgic decoration!
If you don’t have china cups you want to recycle, thrift stores or second hand stores often have a wide variety of china
for very reasonable prices.
