Carved out some mother and daughter-time this weekend? With a little create flair you could have a whole new set of dinner plates or even a little Christmas pressie for Granny, all in time for afternoon tea.
Little girls can pick the colours and do the dipping, Mums can supervise!
Turn boring coloured culinary items into this….

What you need
Leftover nail varnishes (you can’t bring yourself to throw out).
An old tupperware bowl
Four plain coloured cups
A sheet of baking paper
What to do
1. Fill the small tupper-ware container with lukewarm water.
2. Drop a few droplets of nail varnish in and swirl it with a toothpick.
3. Dip in the cup or plate or anything else you wish to design and leave it for about ten seconds.
4. Place the cup to dry on a sheet of greaseproof paper.
