Card stock
Scrapbooking paper
Embellishment
Mod Podge Glue
Button
Thread
Directions:
Measure card stock width 7 inches and length of 9.5 inches. Cut card stock.
Measure the cut card stock at 2.5 inches, 4 inches and the last 3rd of the card will be 3 inches. Fold the bottom 2.5 inches upwards and the fold the top downward 3 inches. This will make an envelope.
Glue both edges of the 2.5 inch fold and then glue down a small strip in the middle. You will then have 2 pockets to put your tea bags in.
Embellish the envelope with scrapbooking papers stickers.
I did put a button in the middle of the top fold and used thread that I taped in a loop on the bottom back. I found the top of the envelop wouldn't lay flat so this helped to make it more secure.
I think these would make a great gift for Tea Loving Friends - perfect for Valentines. I will be tucking one of these in the packages I am sending out to a few friends with some cup cozies... Instead of store bought tea bags, make a few tea bags of your own to tuck inside...like these one I made.
A closer look of the outside and inside of the holder...
Lovely idea!
