Tea Christmas Cafe decor at my office....I won the contests

We had our first ever, Decorate your office, Christmas Contest.

I knew right away I was going with the Christmas Tea Cafe theme.

I decided to make a giant tea cup...I like to think of it as a Masala Chai with cold foam.

 

How did I make it?  I went to the Dollar General Store and walked up and down the isle until an idea came to me.

I bought a trash can, a circular floral wreath, and a pizza pan.  I then went to the hardware and bought red paint...that was the most expensive part- the red paint.

I glued everything together with glue I had.

I cut the floral wreath in half to act as the handle and then glued it onto the trash can.

I glued the trash can on to the pizza tray.


Thankfully it was not too cold in the garage to spray paint.


Ta Dah!!!  I love it!!


I already had some giant logo stickers, so I thought that was fun to add it to the mug.  I also already had the candy cane for my Christmas decor.  I also add the white cloth to be the cold foam.


I bought the Gingerbread House on Amazon.
I zip tied the house to the ceiling. 




I then bought some cafe streamers from Amazon to hang down from the ceiling.  I figured I could always use these again for Christmas tea parties.  As well as one of the back drops as a photo back drop for a party.



Lastly, I found a teachers cafe board on Amazon.  It was meant to be a bulletin board display for a school.


I spend around $45 dollars on everything....and some could be used again for Christmas teas.  The prize was $100 so I wanted to be sure I still won money if I won.

I came in after hours and took me about 4 hours to put it all up.


And I won!!!!!

I won the $100 Amazon gift card!!!!

My coworker and I also spilt the $50 prize  for decorating a coworkers office, lol!!


Granted he was on vacation at the time.
And no one else participated in the contest....still we will take the win!!

We called it Boxing Day!  We threw all the empty boxes that come to the office over Christmas in his pod.  I also did not need the gingerbread roof, so we added that as well.


I also won $25 for the ugly Christmas sweater contest.
 I guess that is what happens when you put HR on your shirt and she is a really good sport about it.




Merry Christmas to me this year from the office, lol!!!
