This is the huge cup of tea I made. My initial plan was to buy a bucket/bin/container of some kind and simply cover it with paper BUT to scale correctly with the puppets it had to be a very specific size and, of course, after an exhaustive search of real world and online shops, no such item could be found! In the end I used a popcorn bucket with matched the diameter at the top, with a cardboard sleeve to extend and change the slope of the sides, then added a cardboard bottom. Thankfully the puppets didn't drink real tea, so it didn't need to be waterproof!
Dorky human being for scale - finally a cup large enough to meet my tea requirements!

This was a great little commercial with designer Anna Rhodes for Blink. Colourful, oversized puppets take the TransPennine Express and one of them needs a cup of Yorkshire Tea
