1. |
Think of what color you want your teapot to be and cut out the appropriate color of construction paper into a small rectangle. |
 |
2. |
Apply glue all over the surface of the rectangular piece of paper. |
 |
3. |
Roll the paper into a cone or spout shape. Press on the edges to glue them in place. |
 |
4. |
Prepare two small paper bowls to make into the teapot's body. On one bowl, mark the width of the spout's base. |
 |
 5. |
Turn the bowl face down and extend the two marked points into a trapezoid shape. Cut out the trapezoid. |
 |
6. |
Cut an identical shape on the other paper bowl. |
|
 |
7. |
Staple the base of the spout below the trapezoid cut-out on one paper bowl. |
 |
8. |
Apply white glue or glue gun adhesive along the rim of the bowl. |
 |
9. |
Put the 2 bowls together, with the spout jutting out from the trapezoid cut-out portions of the paper bowls. Press firmly along the joined rims. |
 |
10. |
Punch a pair of holes on the teapot opposite the area of the spout. Use the tip of a pencil to punch one hole on the top bowl and another one on the bottom bowl. |
 |
11. |
Bend a pipe cleaner in the middle. |
 |
12. |
To make the teapot's handle, insert one end of the bent pipe cleaner into the top hole and the other end into the bottom hole of the teapot. Use glue gun to fix the ends of the handle in place. |
 |
13. |
Paint the teapot with the same color as the spout. |
 |
14. |
You may leave the spout unpainted or you may paint it to blend it seamlessly with the teapot body. Let the paint dry completely. |
 |
15. |
Glue a pompom or a large bead on top of the teapot. |
|
 |
16. |
You may further decorate the teapot with small craft foam shapes, sequins or stickers. |
