Miniature Tea Bag Booklet

If you're a tea drinker there is a good chance that you've been seduced by the beautiful packaging to be found in those fun boxes. (pukka and yogi tea are my favorites for packaging :)

 

I saved a bunch of the envelopes and tiny tags and created my own mini book.

Here's how...

Materials you will need:

Lots of teabag packaging - paper envelopes & tags
Washi tape you love  (Etsy have a great range of sellers offering beautiful washi tape)
Embroidery threads or yarns which you may well have in your supplies already
Your favorite stamps, paints & embellishments or collage images
Sari silk ribbon (this is a great Etsy supplier) or any other ribbon you like to use.

Hole punch
Stapler
Glue stick
Scissors
A couple of small bull dog clips come in really handy!

First gather the teabag envelopes and trim to roughly the same square shape.  I mostly used the open edges of the teabag envelope for the spine edge of the book.

For those teabag envelopes I was trimming down to make pockets inside the book I used the closed edge along the spine leaving an opening.

I trimmed the opening edge to create a simple envelope flap to secure the tag that would live inside











Some of the teabag ranges include inspiring little quotes which I trimmed with washi tape and threaded with colorful embroidery threads.

These were then tucked in to the bound pockets with the colorful threads bursting out of the top of the mini book

Clear teabag envelopes make great little sealed pockets for a quote and an embellishment.

Spare teabag tags make great tabs which were stapled randomly to the top edge of some of the pages.

A simple hole punch made two holes and the binding was completed with a scrap of sari silk (you could also use ribbon, strong thread or yarn)









Now this little tea inspired book is ready for collage, photos, notes & other embellishment.


Enjoy over your next cup of tea!
