Tea bags :-)

Well what is a girl to do when she is a total tea holic… is there such a word?  Tony and I get through gallons of tea in a day so I am not totally taking the blame here. :-) I was in crafting mode yesterday and had some dried teabags to use up.... doesn't everyone... :-)
I've made things with teabags before but that was a few years ago so newer blog followers may not have seen them... I gathered some teabags over a few days. Rinsed them and dried them.  Split them open and tipped out the tea (that went onto my garden). Then began the fun.  I cut butterflies from the teabags. The bodies are a brown envelope and the antennae are snips of embroidery threads...I try to waste absolutely nothing.. :-)

  7. How lovely and delicate! I'm afraid I have the same mindset - "I could use that to make xyz" - it can be a curse but as you show it can also be a very good thing :)
