My latest project was a collaboration with Pauline Bakes. She was making tea bag cookies for a tea party bridal shower and wanted a cute way to package it. I have seen some great ideas on pinterest that packaged the cookies in the shape of a tea bag but wasn't quite what I had wanted. So, I set about to make my own template and created my own little favor packaging for this tea party theme bridal shower.
The supplies! A scoring board is very useful for creating precise lines for folding. It allows for a clean straight line making your final product look much cleaner.
1) Cut a pattern paper of your choice in the size of 4" by 8.5"
2) Score along the dashed lines at the size indicated
3) Cut as indicated by the white lines on the picture. The angle of the top of the tea bag is your choice. I chose to angle it by 0.5" from the end.
4) This is what your template should look like before you start putting it together.
5) Overlap the sides and glue. It should stand on its own like this
6) Using the small hole puncher, punch a hole on top of the teabag and thread your twine through. (Before tying off the string, put your cookie or treat of choice at this time before closing it off)
7) On a small square piece of paper, stamp any cute image. I chose this little tea cup to stamp.
8) Tie to the twine to finish your teabag look.
Choose any fun pattern paper to match the theme or color of the party. You can add it to a tea cup as a party favor gift for a touch of fun!
