Hey I love watching craft videos....a tip for shiny stickers or magazine images can be put on the paper before the tea bag is put on on it will keep the shine from showing. Happy crafting.

Thanks for sharing this great idea, i've never seen anyone do any of this before, but although i want to try this, if i use book pages, for me i'll save the white edgings of the pages, i'll cut them as strips & use them for paper beads.

Hi I've been playing with tea bags also and putting an image on one side and not covering it with tea bag but leaving it exposed and then smooshing the gluey tea bag up to the edges of the image. I'm excited to start trying some roundish images. I love how these can look mysterious when covered completely - enveloped? Happy New Year! ❇️

Thanks for the advice! This was only about my second craft video so I am still trying to figure things out. I apologize for the amateurishness of it, but wanted to share even though I almost didn’t because I’d known I “messed it up”!

@terrinichols2738 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for sharing your ideas! I loved it!! I’m curious as to why you use glue? Does it seep thru the tea bag and make everything stick together so it’s just more flat? If you don’t use glue, and just sew it, would the result be more puffy? I can’t wait to try! Also I’ll try putting the sticker on the book page, behind the tea bag!

@4chicagogrl Жыл бұрын

Yes the glue holds it all together. If you don't use glue it might work but sewing may be kind of fiddly. Let us know if you try either idea!

@patty6375 Жыл бұрын

Love this! Just wondering if your stamped ink ones bleed when you glue them? Water based I am assuming?

@4chicagogrl Жыл бұрын

Good question! I meant to address that further actually. You definitely want to use waterproof ink for stamping, because I used both regular and waterproof and the regular ones did bleed a bit, whereas the waterproof ones were fine.

@cathystaub4645 10 ай бұрын

Lovely idea for sure! I do have one question. You mentioned diluting the glue with 1/3 water, but then I saw you take straight from the glue bottle when you were gluing them at the end? Was that straight glue, then? 😊

Thanks so much! I had added water and glue from a big glue bottle of clear school glue into the Elmer's bottle! :)

@4chicagogrl Жыл бұрын

So far I still have what I’ve made in a little box and I just look at them now and then, wanting to make more, lol! But the idea is as embellishments in junk journals and other such paper crafts and little art decorations. But I imagine there are a million ways to use them! Add one or two in a card to a loved one as a fun little gift! ❤️😊

@cindylathan4231 Жыл бұрын

I thought you make a garland with these using jute twine to string then. Use tea/coffee died fabric strips tied in-between the bags. Hang on mantel or kitchen window.

I forgot to mention about the shiny magazine page or sticker, if you paint it with clear gesso it will eliminate the shine. You can make homemade gesso, just KZfaq it.
