Supplies

Step 1: Supplies and Tools

Supplies

A coffee filter or a tea filter
A spool of thread, color is up to you
Cardboard (little rests are great!)
Your favorite tea
Imagination

Tools needed

Sewing machine
Spoon
Scissors
Pencil and rubber

Step 2: Draw Your Pattern

Draw your desired shape on the coffee filter. Make it a little bigger than a regular tea bag. Generally, you can make 2 tea bags with a filter. If you are courageous, you can sew directly your pattern.

Step 3: Cut Your Pattern

Cut the pattern leaving about 0,5 cm (0.2 inches) from the drawing. You can erase the pattern at this moment.

Step 4: Make a Little Label

Cut a shape in a cardboard to make a label for your tea bag.

Step 5: Sew Your Tea Bag

Sew the edges of your drawing leaving one side open. You can make decorations if you sew a single side of the filter. At this moment, you can erase your drawing.
