I love a project that combines craft and creative time with another favorite analog ritual – sipping tea. Sometimes I like to couple sipping tea with a book but most of the time, I pair it up with nothing but sitting and thinking. A true lost art.
Long years ago, when I was a rep for a popular stamp company one of the projects my upline taught me was a fun tea bag gift pouch. It was before the internet, so the genius of the project was madly emphasized. To this day I still make these little tea bag gift pouches and today I’m sharing them with you.

How to Make a Tea Bag Gift Pouch
Step 1: Score each piece of paper in half at 3″
Step 2: Turn the paper one turn to the left and score at 1/2″ and 3 1/2″
Step 3: Fold all pieces on score lines – use a bone folder if necessary for a nice crease
Step 4: Apply score tape to both flaps on one side of each of the pages, remove backing and fold the pieces together
Step 5: Apply score tape to the front of two of the pockets
Step 6: Stack the pockets on top of each other, placing the one without score tape on the front
Step 7: Tie a ribbon around the entire project placing a bow at the top
