rose cups

Use decorative coffee and tea cups as vases for roses or other small flowers. Cut the stems of the roses quite short and place as many blooms as possible in each cup. Place the cups on a platter or group them in the middle of the table to create a centrepiece. This is a good way to use your favourite cups that are chipped but are too precious to throw away.
