If you are a parent whose children have grown up and moved out, then you must be wondering what to do with their toys. Well, how about using them for decorating 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.

The stems of the flowers will need to be cut off. Otherwise, the flowers will not sit on top of the cup. If you don't want to place artificial flowers in the cups, then you can try something else. You can also turn them into 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.

The best glue for this purpose would be wood glue. First, you need to place the cup on the rubber piece. Use a sharp razor to cut the rubber in the shape of the cup.

Now just put some glue on the rubber and place the cup on it. If you press the cup for a few seconds, the cup will stick to the rubber. The next thing that you need to do is just let the glue to dry.

Your candy dish is ready and now you need to place the candy in it. The rubber will make sure that the cups don't slide all over the table. The tea cups will work as a great decoration piece in your room.

The candy dishes can also be used as a centerpiece in your kitchen or in any other rooms. During a party or during a small gathering, it can be used to place dinner mints for your guests.
