If you haven’t heard, I am planning a ‘Tea for Two’ birthday party for my twin two-year-old girls for this coming October. When I plan birthday parties, especially for my girls, I like to start planning ahead and getting things done ahead of time so that I can enjoy the process instead of stressing out the last week before the party.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I decided to do tea for two because my girls are turning two and there’s two of them. I want it to be really elegant with a fall-themed color palette since it is in October.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

My sister-in-law is going to create bouquets of flowers to go in teapots for the centerpieces of the table and serving table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I went to my local thrift shop to look for teapots and teacups and unfortunately most of them had designs that didn’t go with my color palette for the party. I decided to paint them because they aren’t going to be used to pour out of or drink tea out of. My local thrift stop has a semi annual everything goes 75% off sale so I got my teapots all for $1 or less. I would highly recommend going to a Goodwill or thrift shop because the quality doesn’t have to be awesome when they’re going to be filled with flowers for decor anyway.

I decided to use a Rustoleum paint to spray paint them and you can get the same one here<\/a> on Amazon in multiple colors. I just used white because my flower arrangements are going to have maroons, pinks and deep greens in them and I wanted those to stand out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

I took my teapots outside and place them on cardboard, shook the paint well and spray-painted it very carefully. Tip: do not start spraying directly on the teapot. I started the mist before I made contact with the teapot and kept doing streaks back and forth across it. It only took me one coat to get the pots looking like this and I think they turned out wonderfully!<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

To finish, I just put some silk flowers in it to show you how it looks when the paint is dried and the project is complete.<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
