You need: coffee cup and saucer, two-wire cable – about 18-20 cm (depending on the height of the cup), scissors or wire cutters, hot glue gun, faux flowers.

Bend the wire as shown and glue it with a large amount of hot glue to the coffee cup. Once the glue is completely dry, glue the other end of the wire to the saucer. The cup should be leaned just slightly forward in order to give the composition stability. Then prepare the artificial flowers for decoration of the composition. Glue the flowers by starting from the bottom of the cup.
