Welcome to Week 28 in my weekly craft video series. Today I'm playing around with spent tea bags and making different types of collage for my junk journal. Experiment along with me as I share some thoughts on glues and other tips.

These are gorgeous Annette! I’ve never used tea bags, so I’m going to start saving them now. Your junk journal is stunning, and you’re not even finished it yet. Thanks for a great time watching you experiment. That’s what it’s all about. ❤

Thank you so much! I hope you DO give them a try and play around with your own ideas. I'm already dreaming of making a Christmas junk journal. Now to find the time...(sigh)

Thanks so much! I would recommend rinsing and emptying the tea bags after you've brewed. I tried letting them dry first and emptying them after and they were soggy for days and harder to clean.

The tea bags take embossing ink and metallic embossing powders really well, too! Ranger’s metallics are especially effective - gold, silver, gunmetal.

I too was inspired by Treasure Books and used her recipe for glue; it worked so well! Your pieces are gorgeous and I have to tell you that I too have a bee tattoo in my left forearm!

@dianejohnson7212 25 күн бұрын

I’m sure you already know this but just in case, if you put parchment paper on each side of your page that wrinkled in your book and iron it it should take most of the wrinkles and rippling away. The heat from the iron reactivates your glue but also dries it Hope that makes sense

Whoa! Cool! I would love to add a little more around my bee. Thanks for watching and hope to see you here again.

Love this idea! I bought some tea bag papers - think Devid had used them - but when I stamped on it it bled terribly! Maybe I’ll try again but coat them first! 😉

Yes, I don't know how ink can't soak through, it's so thin, but definitely try coating it first and see for yourself.

English’s Breakfast tea is tea as strong as coffee and it is drank early and at breakfast it’s very good

@AnnetteGreen Ай бұрын

I'm such a coffee fan, I don't even know why I have this tea in my cupboard. LOL! At night I drink my tea usually, and of course it's decaffeinated.

Very pretty and interesting. I've seen videos where the person using plastic wrap between napkin and whatever they're adhering it to. Then they iron it. I haven't tried that method so don't know if it works or stays long term.

I believe I've seen that as well, but I'm not sure if it was plastic wrap or deli paper... hmmm, either way, interesting.

Fun with tea bags! While watching I soaked some tea bags and just opened some & dumped out the tea. These were old ones (caramel tea) someone gave me that I won't be using to make tea to drink. Question... what is the difference using the pva glue vs mod podge?

@AnnetteGreen 19 күн бұрын

If you Google Polyvinyl Acetate, you'll find all the science behind what's in it and what makes it unique. It definitely has a bit of a rubbery quality when dry and that's why it works well in book binding and making these notepads. I'm not sure I would say the same for Mod Podge.

@crystalgeiger2498 Ай бұрын

Have you ever tried printing on them?😀

@AnnetteGreen Ай бұрын

I haven't, Crystal, and I'm a bit scared to since they seem a little delicate. I suppose if you taped them to a piece of paper and fed it through that way, it might work. Well, if you try it, let me know!

By the way, those Avery labels are SO expensive here (UK) which is very sad, as I loved your other video using them
