Annie Doherty on Sep 11, 2016Need to antique some fabric or lace yeah! Tea bags use an old tea pot cover with hot water and when brewed to strength you require, pour over the fabric and stir with a spoon leave for an hour then rinse. Your fabric will have taken on an old patina and looks antique, the colour will fade gradually with washing but will still retain the 'old' look.
