How to start:
Go to your kitchen cabinet and take stock of what old teacups that are chipped, mismatched or unused for a long time.
You will need to drill at least one drainage hole into the base of your cup. Stick a piece of masking tape over the base and using a small diamond or ceramic drill bit, carefully bore into the teacup.
It does take a while to get through ceramics, and it's important to let the bit cool down so that the heat doesn’t build up from the friction and shatter your cup.
After the holes are drilled, try cutting a small piece of plastic window screening and put it over the holes, to keep the soil in and let the water out. You can also use a paper towel or a coffee filter.
