I was a little confused at first when you said tea "bags."  To me those are the part that contains the tea and is dipped into the water.  What you are using are the teabag envelopes.  Nice, colourful crafts from your instructible, though.

I really love this. Anything that creatively uses items about to become trash is most excellent in my book. I'm going to post this to my facebook page tomorrow. (I would do it right now, but I just put up the avocado growing instructable!) Thanx for taking the time to show and tell!

I like it just because I am an obsessive tea drinker :) Good idea! Except most of my teabags come in boxes, but sometimes are individually wrapped.

hahahaha teabag!

I mostly drink tea that comes in bags/boxes of bags, not individually wrapped ones... but the Twinings boxes are actually quite useful in their own right. Nice simple craft idea, anyway.

or just rip them open and refill them
