Floating Teacup Garden Part 2

Okay, have you found the perfect cup? If not keep looking you will and if you have then you can follow me with step 2. Out of all the steps 1 and 2 take the longest to me. In step 2 you will need some pliers or other tool to bend your metal. You will want the bottom of the fork flat on the plate. Place some glue, depending on what type of environment the garden wI'll be exposed to. For the purposes of this we are going with indoor. I use gorilla glue sticks for my projects. Put some glue on the plate where you are going to want it and wiggle the fork around until it is covered in glue all the way over the prongs. Now do the same with the cup. This part is a little trickier because you have to make sure to balance the Teacup or the garden will tip over. I will usually wait for the glue to dry on the plate that way I can bend the top part of the metal to get the Teacup to balance. Just as you did with the bottom of the fork do the same to the top. Daub on the glue and wiggle it around until it is covered. Once you have attached the cup and saucer you will need to prop it up so that it can dry properly. This can take awhile so be patient. This is an idea of how the cup and saucer should look when attached. Of course each garden is different so whatever position you can achieve the balance go for it. While this is going on try to imagine a theme for your garden by studying the bones of the project. Come back tomorrow for part 3 and we will talk about how to come up with a theme.
