Cut 3 pieces chipboard into the following dimensions: 1 piece of 2.5" x 2" and 2 pieces of 2" x 2"...

Apply glue or glossy accent onto one surface of the chipboard...

Glue it down onto a piece of pattern paper of your choice (on the wrong side)... Once glued down, trim the pattern paper accordingly to the chipboard size...

Repeat for the other remaining chipboards and this is what you will get... This will be the insides of the holder...

Taking one of the 2" x 2" chipboard, apply glue or glossy accent onto the edge of the chipboard as shown...

Press and glue it down at 90 degree angle on top of the 2.5" x 2" chipboard (on the 2" side)...

Repeat for the other 2" x 2" chipboard and you will get a "U" shaped assembled holder like this...

Trace one side of the chipboard holder onto a pattern paper of your choice...

Trim the traced pattern paper out using a precision scissors or any scissors of your choice...

Apply glue or glossy accent onto the wrong side of the pattern paper...

Position it well on the reverse side of the teacup (unglued plastic side) and glue it down...

Apply glossy accent over the other edge of the chipboard container and glue down the other teacup... Make sure they are both on the same level and orientation... This is what you will get...
