Now that your children have grown up and left home, it is time to do something about their old toys. How about turning them into decorative items for your house?

If you have a look at some of the toys lying around, you will find that that there are many tea sets among them. The best thing about them is that you can easily use them to decorate your home.

You can use shredded paper for this. Yes, just stop putting shredded paper into the recycle bin. Instead, use it to decorate your cups. Just place the paper inside your children's tea cups.

Once you have placed the paper, put a few artificial flowers on top of it. You can easily find these flowers in a nearby crafts store.

What you need to do is remove the stems. This way the bunches will be placed on the top of the cups easily. It is quite possible that you don't like the idea of using artificial flowers. Then maybe you can use the tea cups as candy dishes.

You need to get a rubber kit and some extra strong glue for this. You will easily be able to find one at your nearby arts and crafts store. All you need to do is to glue the rubber piece at the bottom of the cup.

Very good glue for sticking the rubber to the cup is wood glue. You need to place the cup on the rubber and then cut the rubber into the shape of the tea cup.

Now put the extra strong glue on the rubber piece. The cup needs to be then gently pressed on top of the glue. Make sure to hold the cup for a few seconds so that it sticks to the rubber. Now it is time to let the glue dry.

Place some candies in the newly made candy dishes. The rubber will prevent it from slipping off the table and give that perfect touch to your house.

This candy dish can also be used as a centerpiece. When you have guests in your house, it can be placed in the kitchen with dinner mints in it. If you have a party at your house, this can again be used a centerpiece.
