This project was my valentines day gift to Ben. My inspiration came from trolling through the many pins for valentines gifts and cards on Pinterest. I first came across some pins for making your own teabags and since we love drinking various flavors of tea at our house I thought this would be a great gift. Then I found this post for a card and I decided to combine these ideas. This was the result.
To make this you will need
Coffee filters
Scissors
Sewing machine
Tea
Teaspoon
Cooking string
Stapler
Brown paper
Stickers
Pens and pencils
Method
Cut filters into rectangles as shown below
Fold the corners of the open end to the middle of the bag creating a triangle at the top. Loop 1 end of the string around in a small circle. Place on the middle edge of the triangle.
To make the individual wrappings
for each bag cut 16 x 9.5 cm rectangles out of brown paper. Fold in half and sew up the 2 sides.
Trim extra string. Write tea type on the bag then place tea bag inside the bag. Fold over the edge and secure with a sticker (or tape)
