For this craft you will need:

 

Directions:

  • Decorate your teapot and draw a background.
  • Cut out one of the pockets in the pocket template and decorate.
  • Attach the pocket to front of the teapot with glue or sticky tape, leaving the top edge open to  create a pocket.
  • Cut up a paper doily or create a paper cut-out trim and attach it to the top edge of the pocket.
