DIY Tablet Cover - No Sew

After making my Burlap Place Mats, all I can think about is painting on fabrics. I enjoyed making them and when I saw a homemade cover for an I-pad in a magazine, I just knew what my next project was going to be.

DIY Valentine Tea Bags with a free printable.

DIY Valentine Tea Bags

I am a big fan of tea... I drink at least one cup of tea every day if not more. I also love to drink tea made from loose tea, but it is always a problem as I end up with strainers full of loose tea all over the house or at least my kitchen.

Did you know that you could make tea bags from coffee filters? They work perfectly and you don't have to worry about straining the loose tea... you can just throw out the tea bag. Perfect, simple and the bag can be in the shape you want. I didn't have the big size coffee filters but did have some filters from EZ pod so used them.. You could also make them in the EZ Pod shape, just stitch around the top and then they could be put in your Single- Cup Pot.

I decided to make them up with some valentine labels but also did some teacup labels. You could even write on the back what type of loose tea you placed in. For the labels you can print them here.

Materials:

Coffee filters

Loose Tea

Printable Labels

String or Thread (I used heavy thread)

Directions:

Print labels and cut out.

I used EZ Pod refills so pulled them apart slightly, Filled with 1 tsp of loose tea and sewed the filters together with thread into a semi circle.

If using large coffee filters I would cut them into a circle about 1 1/2 inch diameter, add loose tea and sew them into a semi circle.

To attach label, tie knot, thread through the tea bag and then through the label, keeping a length of string of 1 -2 inches between the tea bag and label.

Use DIY tea bags as you would bought tea bags.

Perfect gifts to give teachers, grandmothers, aunts or anyone that is a tea lover. I love teavana tea and this would be a way to personalize the gift.

Note: Make sure that you attach the thread to the top of the heart or when you use it you will have a upside down heart like mine in the picture. My threads where cut too long for my cup. You could measure them so that the bag fits nicely into a cup.

Bird Bath and Feeder

I know that you are probably thinking.... Why is she posting about a bird feeder at this time of year. The birds are now thinking of flying south and the snow will be falling. Why oh Why would I write about making a bird feeder. Well, it is because I just got time to make it. I did buy the material as soon as Cynthia from Feeding Big brought over this idea to my facebook page. Hers is a butterfly feeder but I decided to make mine into a birdbath and feeder. Head over to her page for the directions to make her feeder. I only took pictures of what I used and the end product.

Host Favorite

This week my host favorite goes to Nicole of Tales of a Kansas Farm Mom for her Country Barbecue Potatoes . I make a similar potato but have never thought of adding honey to my potatoes. That sounds awesome and the next time I make my potatoes I am going to add some to mine. I do make these potatoes outside on the barbecue and also in the oven.
