Let's see- 20 is 4x5. You could cut a pc of page wire fence into a rectangle 4 holes by 5 holes and hang each cup in one hole add a chain to the top and hang it outside in the sun. Maybe glue some golored glass globs to the bottoms or something.

There was a gal a long time ago posted on here had something like that hanging on her porch. I think she had similar items (don't remember if it was cups or what) hanging one in each pane of an old window I believe it was. Memory's a little fuzzy it was a few years ago. Well I remember it looked good hanging there, anyway, lol.

I had cups,too. I made this awesome hanging light . I shoved colored Christmas lights in mine and hung it in the window.Here's a sute that shows you the pic and has directions !

I've used them to make tealight candle holders. Same idea as the china teacup birdfeeders.

Here's an old pic showing two on the deck but I usually put them on a copper pipe and have them in the garden around the front patio. This summer I've been using these on a table on the back deck.

Since punch cups don't come with saucers I use any clear or pressed glass flattish dish, shallow bowl, or small plate. I've used the clear or pressed glass teacups and saucers most of the time.

I've sold a lot of these.

I just remembered there's something here that could work (I posted this site yesterday for another idea). If you scroll down a little over half way (then 2/3 down are more pics) you'll see a ladder and vines with teacups. I think clear punch cups would work as well.

I might even try that next year. I think they'd catch the light and look quite nice. Maybe use some sugar bowls and creamers as well.

They would be pretty glued on an old chandelier and used as candleholders. I really like the ball that toomuchglass posted. That is cool. I would think a bunch of punch bowl cups like that would be very heavy though. I like the cups on the ladder. I think the clear ones would be pretty with colored glass globs glued in the bottom of them.

All of these ideas are pretty. I have some punch cups too and have been planning to make a wind chime out of them. I just haven't found the perfect top piece yet.

ooops-----------I Need glasses !!!!!! I could have sworn the word "Plastic" cups was in the title !!!!!!!!

Sorry !!!!!

Man that ladder lady has it going on, everything is too wonderful. The ladder would be nice with the clear cups and I like the idea of colored globs in the bottoms, looks like you would need more cups. Smick's idea of a windchime is neat, I found a bunch of giant glass pot lids at my local TS that would make good top pieces. Most glass pot lids have a metal rim you could pierce for the line and cups and you can remove the knobs to add a hanger.

You guys are amazing! OK! Votive holders, hanging on ladders, in windows, on wreaths, w/ cups & saucers--obviously I need more!
(I was going to donate them to my church, but thanks for showing me how valuable they are!
Pics later! Many thanks again! ttfn! Carol

As luna mentioned above I glued mine to a chandy and am going to put tealights in them...

So I've been rolling this around in my head and the only thing I could come up with is gluing them together.

If I were doing it, and if they were the shorter rounder ones, I would cut their handles off, and glue them together making a crystal ball of sorts.
Then I'd put them on posts, almost like a tea cup feeder.

would be cute as a hose guide too.

damn it.. now I'm not going to be able to get this project out of my head. :D

Great ideas! Decorative hose guides! How intriging! On top of the galv. conduit! Could hold those tea lights, too! I'm away visiting; now I can't wait to get home to begin! Thanks again. Carol

One more cup idea .. lol ! Turn the cups on their sides, glue moss in them and then glue small birds in them. Hang pretty ribbons through the handles and hang them as ornaments. You'll need to place the birds or whatever you decide to put in them a little closer to the mouth of the cup to balance it when you hang them. I saw something similar in a magazine, only they used ceramic or resin dogs and cats in them without the moss .. AND they were selling for $15.00 a piece !
