Most pottery supply stores carry a selection of cane handles for teapots. Those can be lovely, but, of course, these store-bought handles are not one of a kind. If you want to go completely one of a kind, you can make your own cane handles using binding cane and reed (available at craft stores).

In today's video clip, Sheila Clennell demonstrates a more complicated cane handle project: how to make what she calls her "Front Spray" style handle for a teapot. Have a look and then think about tweaks you can make to make it your own. The possibilities are endless! - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
