DIY Tea Box and Tea Tags.
by
Irina
This tea project was done for our dear grannies for Mother's day last year. Two variants were done. The first variant I did together with my daughter. The second variant is a printable version (I did patterns in a photo editor and printed them out, all pattern are available to download).
Materials are really simple:
The main one is a box of tea bags which is more than easy to buy in any local supermarket.
Paper, color markers/pens/pencils, an adhesive (double-sided tape is comfortable to work with), scissors.
And of course a good mood because this gift is gonna be given to someone you love!
Here is my video tutorial with all details:

And a photo overview below:
Step 1: Take A4 paper (I use thick paper but copy paper may be also ok), cut it into rectangles.
My rectangles (tea tags to be) are 3,5 cm x 9 cm.
Step 2: Fold them in half and cut off edges to make a tea bag shape.
Step 3: Let your kid decorate the tea tags.
Step 4: Take a ready tea bag, remove the tag and adhere your tag with double-sided tape.
Step 5: Now let's make a box. Take a tea box:
Step 6: And undo it:
Step 7: Take thick paper A3, fix the box in place with a masking tape, trace the outline with a pencil and cut out.
Step 8: Repeat all folds and cuts using a ruler and scissors (or an empty ball pen).
Step 9: Fold up a box and glue where necessary,
Step 10: You may decorate a fresh-made tea box together with a kid.
Once the box is ready, the tea bags are ready, place tea bags in the tea box. Also I recommend to wrap the box with a clear plastic to make it look even better.
So, this project is nice to make with kids but I also made printable patterns of tea tags (you or kids may write warm wishes on them).

Thank you and happy crafting!
