- Floating tea cup. How to make a floating tea cup. Today I will show you how to make these amazing Floating Tea Cups. You can float almost anything as long as the wire you use is strong enough to hold it.
you can use a dinner fork or even coat hanger wire these will work too, just remember to bend them enough to support the cup . Remember if it tips over just raise the cup higher by gently bending the wire up until it balances. Or hide a weight e.g a flat pebble glued to the saucer and hide it with your decorations.
Thank you
Thank You. 💜
A craft tutorial by a real person?! Someone whose hot glue doesnt dry instantly and shows things can be a bit tricky or fiddly. So refreshing! So many other tutorials make it look so easy that you feel like a failure when its not also super easy for you. Thank you!
I know what you mean. Goss iv been burnt by hot glue so many times I get frightend to pick up the glue gun because mine dosn't dry as quick as I thought.
beautiful work, and great instructions!!thankyoufor sharing ...love it!
I absolutely love this one. Thanks for a great gift idea. I am going to try this with flowers and see how it turns out. Great job!
your welcome, flowers always look fabulous add a small fairy if you have one they always look pretty with a fairy in them too. Thank you for following my channel.

Hi Alison, a new subscriber here. I found you via Pinterest and just love this tutorial. I have been in love with floating teacups for what seems a lifetime but have never made one - after seeing this video you have inspired me to have a try. Thank you so much for the very clear instructions.
Thay are amazing and so versatile for decorating too. Than you for watching.
I absolutely love this!!! MY dad was a watch maker and I have my grandmothers tea cups just sitting around. Didn't know what to do with them and now I know !!!!!!!!!!!! Love crafting
That would be a great thing to combine them.
Your cups are adorable. I love your watches. I've just started crafting this past year and trying to collect supplies I need, without having to stop and search for certain items then wait on them. I'm going to order some watches today. That is one of many things I don't have and I see how cute they are and how many different things I could use them on. Thanks for sharing your video with us. This is the first one of your's I've seen. I just subscribed and clicked follow to learn new things from you. You're a great "teacher". Have a great day. Linda from texas
Linda, thank you very much. My channel crafts will keep you occupied for months try the book folding very cheap Free if you have some books you don't need) they can be spectacular once finished and very easy to learn.
Thanks to all your absolutely marvelous tutorials I now have a new hobby! It is so relaxing, I can just lose myself and all my stress just floats away. Here is a suggestion: if you put a clear glass saucer under your base (saucer) it will add more stability. Thanks so much.
Irene, Thank you for the fab tip, I never thought of that thank you xx
Alison Russell's Craft Channel What’s a clear glass saucer and where do you find them. Can you tell I’m new with this LOL. will continue to watch and learn thank you
Very cool.I love the idea of the time pieces.Would make a very cool gift for a special man in my life.God Bless You for sharing.
Thank you so much, Coreena
Im new to crafting and only started seeing these yesterday, yours came out lovely. Great job
Thank you so much, Cazzy. Just let your imagination run wild you can do this with a soda can and a glass. as long as the wire you use to hold it in the air is strong enough.
Very cute. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!
These are amazing, Robyn. I have seen some beautiful designs all by peoples own imagination. You should google floating teacups and choose images to give you a few ideas.
Oh my just when I thought you could not top your other tutorials, you come out with this. AMAZING it's stunning wish I had a white rabbit to send you to complete it. that would be the icing on the cake. it's wonderful as it is.

Wow very nicevjob love dragonnflys....lol. beautiful work
Thank you very much!
I would use some sort of cement a real strong glue I've had experience with making these tea cups the glue gun and eventually the clue separates from the porcelain depending on the temperature of the Room. I love making them! I love the "Time for tea" tea cup ❤
yes you can do that.
Very good work. Good creativity.
gosh i didn't realize how often I said the word "Little" ha ha ha ha
very clever thank you for a straight forward tutorial Awesome

What thickness wire do you use? Xx
anything that will stay bent, even a wire from a coat hanger will work or a fork
This is brilliant, you have given me inspiration to do a couple of these myself. Love the "Time for Tea" one. Thanks so much!!!

Alison, I'm so glad I found this as I've been wanting to try it for ages but couldn't work out how to. You've made it look so easy...now all I need to so is find a nice cup and saucer, I think a trip around the charity shops is called for next week :)

Your welcome and remember you can use anything you want as the decoration I saw one when I was in America and it had photographs of the area pouring from it. The lady was selling them as gifts Believe it or not when I asked about it she said she followed a Scottish lady's tutorial on RUclips and was gobsmacked when I told her it was me...
I am new subscriber..I have a daughter named Alison and her husband wasRussell...she had an Alison Wonderland collection so I am making this for a gift
Thank you so much for subscribing, Joan. This will be a fab project and gift for your daughter's collection you could even add a white rabbit to it. I didn't have one to hand when I made this.
What a lovely selection of CLOCKS ;-) Great work!
made me spit out my coffee..... laughing so much. I struggle so much with clocks, (watch faces ) corks and errrr that other word.
l Love this with the Clocks & beads combined.
It's fab and so different too.
Will be giving this a try, lovely thankyou for the great demonstration again
if you do Jan please let me see what you make join my facebook page craftytwunts and post some pics of your crafts i love it when my subscribers join me on my facebook its free to join and we are a lovely bunch of mixed crafters
I'm gonna make this floating Te cup for my niece for her Birthday party, thank you
Your welcome try it with a drinks can or even a drinks box, a mini drinks bottle and use hot glue as the liquid pouring out, colour thee hot glue when it gets cold with a sharpie pen to make it look like cola, orange ect
I am a new subscribe here. Love the floating cup. Thanks for sharing
I especially like the Tea cup watches project. It so unusual and interesting. I want to try it!! New subbie. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much.
This was so much fun to do. My daughter has the cup as she loves things like this
Hi, new to your channel and I am in ore of your creations .. truly stunning , I have a channel of my own here on RUclips and just lately made one of these , before I came across your channel... my teacup was fairies down by the garden... as I made fairies on the saucer , and a small pond etc , I used a tea spoon to hold my cup up ... and I just find watching yours inspiring...so thank you so much for sharing xxx
Your welcome and thank you for watching. Come join my facebook craft group and post a pic if you haven't already. I'd love to see it.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel hi alison , no i havent seen your facebook group eould love to join what ia it called ..i have a 1tb group too , you d be more than welcome to come to mine any day ..
I read somewhere you were aiming for a RUclips play button did you get one after xxxx
Amazing; thanks for sharing! Also really liked the 'Star Wars" scrolling at the end.
Thank you its in the editing program I use
Great tutorial, thank you so much for sharing your crafty skills and ideas, I will be having a go at some. Your videos are great and very well explained, unlike others on you tube that tend to over complicate the easiest of tasks. Keep up the good work. ;-)
I am not mocking myself or anyone else but I am a simple person who likes simple instructions, so I try to do the same with my tutorials. I too find some tutorials difficult to follow or they are too quick so I try to keep mine easy but still get great results with the make.
What a beautiful idea!!, so talented. TFS
Thank you for watching xx
this is amazing just amazing how do you manage to make something so beautiful out of old junk. it's so simple but amazing I love this. you are so talented. thank you. my mum is going to subscribe too iv showed her how.
Thank you loopy hope you give this a try and your mum, remember and decorate it how you like whatever old junk you have. Try bolts and screws and nails for a man and use a mug as long as the wire is strong or even use a fork just bent the tines and a small part of the handle into the same sort of shape i did with the wire only without the hoop. Have fun that's what crafting is about
This tutorial is great! Loving the accent, dear. Sláinte!
Thank you so much, Dee
Thank you for the warning about the wired heating up from the hot glue.
your welcome
Both pieces are really pretty! TFS xx
Thanks for watching and subscribing xx I appreciate it
I love it I am going to try to make one I love the time for tea
you can use ANYTHING you have at hand, coffee beans, flowers, almost anything you can glue to the wire and cup.
Oh, I love this! What a blessing you are.
Thank you for watching xx
When do you use high heat or low heat on your glue gun. I am a first time viewer of your channel & will be a subscriber. I like the way you explain your tutorial & will be looking forward to more of them. Thank you for your clear directions🥰
Mine only has 1 heat setting high,
Ohhhh how wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing.
Your welcome remember you can try this with all sorts of floating things empty sweet packets, champagne glasses with pearls falling out of it ect
Beautiful I love your work. Thank you for Sharing.
Thank you so much for watching xx
FYI, sometimes I work on freezer paper because it's very protective & use old vinyl table cloths or show curtains that are not in bad shape to protect my table tops.
great idea, PoGirl thank you
Good ideas
Glad you like them!
hi alison love your clock tutorial, was wondering where do you get your cups and saucers from as they are adorable???
from a charity shop they always have china tea sets. Remember if you buy any old ones chech the bottom and google the brand and stamp because some can be worth a lot of money. My sister got some that were worth £20 each and she paid £1 for 6. There are a lot of sites that buy old ones for people who have broken ! cup or saucer and need it replaced. She gave a donation to the charity shop and bought herself some craft items with the rest.
Its lovely. So does the music.
Thank you so much
Alison, love the tea cups. Can you please tell me which wire you use? Thank You. Mary.🏴💜
you can use coat hanger wire that works brilliant if you have an old wire coat hanger or thick garden wire
Too precious! What a great job!!!
thank you
Sooooo sweet. Great instruction too!!
Thank you xx
I love the time pieces ❣️❣️❣️Almost like “Alice in Wonderland.” Love love love
thank you

Hello great video. Where can I get the bendable wire please?
I used coat hanger wire or try the garden section in shops
love "time for tea" - very cool
Thank you, I adore this one. I did a coffee one with coffee beans. My friend gave it to her mother who is a coffee addict and works in a coffee shop. She ended up making them herself and sold 60.
They are gorgeous! 😍🤓👍💗
Thank you so much
So pretty. Lovely

thank you for watching and for the kind comment
Great video, and I love the accent.
thank you
Donde compras ese alambre y como se llama el álambre porfavoor
Its me im haveing trouble with makeing my Forks and bend they break on me ☆ Alot ☆ I noticed that when there heavy cups its harder for me to get them to be on the saucer with out falling back ☆ Please help me ☹
Connie, I would try wrapping the fork in a kitchen towel then slowly bed it or use twisted thick wire, It dosn't have to be a fork. You can hide some bolts in the sacer to weight it down if it tips over. I got these smaller cups at a charity shop bone china cups are lighter too.
thanks for the share, this is going to be my next project x
Thank you very much xx
Gorgeous!
Thank you.
Gorgeous 🤗
thank you
Amazng
I evn tried but i couldnt attach a fork wd hot glue gun as it pull out aftr few minutes
I used a lot of glue and held it to set propped it on books until it went hard.
Love this, thank you

I subscribed I love your channel xx
Oh my gosh thank you I'm so glad you enjoyed it my whole channel is all about fun and crafting and a different way I love making costumes and cause playing and hanging out with young people and teaching everyone that crafting is easy if you just try but your stuff is beautiful
Firstly thank you I appreciate the comment. It is amazing what kids can come up with from a box of junk. I have been doing crafts since I was 8 I got a silver foil kit for Christmas hahaha I was amazed and thought I had something worth a fortune but I saw one like it at a car boot sale and thought Oh my gosh it was just a silver card and a sharp stick. I had to score around a template of a hummingbird cut it out fold parts of it and that was it but to me, it was a work of art.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel well I'm definitely glad I found you I'm following you on Instagram as well and just requested to be a part of your Facebook crafting group
Hi Alison where did you get your wire from?? Looked for it today but had no luck?? Thanks x
I got it from the garden section. You can use a wire coat hanger if you have one, or even a bent food fork. After I made this my sister Sandra made hers with coat hanger wire. They turn out great. I hope this helps xx
I love your accent! 💕
where are you from?
Thank you, I am from Scotland
abolutely brilliant love them .
thank you. You can try other things to float like drinks cans, empty sweet packets etc.
Is there a name for the thick wire you use can only find the thin stuff .😐
Try coat hanger wire, I used garden wire for climbing roses. My neighbor gave it to me. I have used wire coat hangers before or a bent over fork. Loads of people use a fork and hot glue to stick it.
Thanks Alison ☺
WOW! LOVE YA
Thank you xx
beautiful x
thank you xx I appreciate the kind comment. You can join our craft facebook page Craftytwunts where we share tips ideas and our crafts everyone is welcome xx
i surely will look you up on fb x
Merci
thanks
can we use plastic cup instead of ceramic one?
I don't see why not It is something I never thought of, you could give it a try if it tips over you will have to hide a weight of some kind on the plate. Be careful the hot glue don't melt the cup
Not sure if anyone else has asked this because I didn't read through all the comments, but can you use E6000 instead of a hot glue gun, or is the hot glue gun the best glue to use? I've also seen people use forks instead of wire....
Yes I think you can i have heard others say they used it. It is use a lot in the USA for all sorts of crafting.
wow!
Thank you
Hi.. just wondering where to buy the watch parts please.. thank you
My daughter bought them at a car boot sale from a man who fixes watches. She only paid a few pounds for them. I added bits from old watches I had too.
Alison Russell's Craft Channel ok thanks
Where did you get the clock on thhe tea cup
My daughter gave me a box of old watch parts she bought at a car boot sale.
how do you make the cup and saucer waterfalls and rivers
If you want it too look like water then use hot glue. You can paint the glue blue like water. or even brown like tea.
Love the concept but I wouldn't use hot glue because it becomes hard and brittle within a year or so. It would be horrible to see all your hard work ruined.
Mine have been fine so far and my sister has one that is 4 years old and still in-tacked with hot glue.
Where did you buy theses clocks
My daughter bought them from a car boot sale for me from a watch repairman.
What kind glue to use
I used hot glue
I want to make this but knowing my luck I'd get up the next morning and it would all be apart
plenty glue, this made me laugh as my 1st one did that because I didn't use enough glue
Keep at it this is a fab hobby, A mantra for you every morning say " I will achieve small, but great things" Every prosses has to be learned through trial and error. Even our first steps as a baby so don't give up, NEVER GIVE UP you can give IN and try a different approach but never give UP.
