tea time tutorial

Well hello again.

It has been a long stretch of time since I last posted.

SHAME ON ME.

My creativity has been flowing quite a bit lately...

(most likely from being trapped indoors with this frigid PA weather.)

TWO things you may know about me:

Both of these come into affect with this tutorial...

I've always been a tea fan,

but I haven't ever dabbled with loose leaf teas.

I stumbled upon a little tea shop in my town.

It was fascinating. Immediately, I was hooked.

I decided that I was going to make some teas for my friends.

One problem, most people don't have tea infusers.

Awhile back I saw how to make your own tea bags!

PERFECT. I shall attempt that.

Here is a simple way to make your own:

Once you have gathered your supplies,

it is time to get started!

[cut out the 2 rectangle in the center portion of the filter]

[I used a contrasting thread,

I love the way it stands out with the filter!]

[I measured out 1 teaspoon per bag]

[fold the corners in & then the flap down.

place string under flap & staple shut]

[I used this convenient tape runner

to attach the string to the tag]

don't be afraid to get creative with your tags!

I hope you find this super easy & fun to do!
