Make the Tea or Coffee Pot Spout

  • Cut out the spout making sure to trim it closely to the black outline.
  • Run an embossing tool down the straight central portion of the spout and along each curved section from the top to the bottom causing the edges to curl slightly.
  • Fold the spout with the two curved sides at a right angle to the central straight piece.
  • Use tweezers to gently curve the straight piece forward and back to match the curves on each side.
  • Run a thin line of glue along the edges of the straight central piece. Hold the curved sides gently on the outside of the central piece to form one edge of the spout. Set aside to dry.
  • When the first glued section is dry, fold the small pointed section from the base of the spout up towards the glued section. Run a thin line of glue along the edges of this small section and glue it two both curved sides across the base of the spout and up to the end of the point. Set aside to dry.
  • As the final step, glue the two curved edges together above the pointed section. Hold them gently together with tweezers to avoid flattening the shape. Set aside to dry.
  • When the spout is completely glued, use an embossing tool or a small toothpick to round the tip of the spout and open it up.
  • Use a black pen, or black paint to cover any white edges that show.
  • Glue the spout with the flat section against the front edge of the pot.
