How to make fashion teabags

Gather your materials and your favorite tea flavors... I'm using the various flora flavors from NZ Live tea blends...

Print the templates out from my blog, or YouTube channel (or at this link http://goo.gl/mRfttV) and trace them over a sturdy cardboard... Hold the template onto the coffee filter firmly as shown...

Use a pair of sharp nose precision scissor, carefully cut the teabag out along the template... You will need 2 pieces of this...

After cutting, this is what you will get...

Stitch around the teabag leaving the top open... Alternatively, u can stitch them on a sewing machine; just be a little careful not to tear the teabag...

Fill the teabag with loose leaves from the top opening...

After adding the tea leaves, seal the teabag by stitching them up...

Add extension at the top of the teabag using some cord string to hang the teabag... Finish up by adding a tab at the end... I'm using the banner from the Botanical Tea collection...

As a gift, you can further pack the teabags into small packages and house them in a gift box... Gift Box Tutorial on my YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/rsXB1DvoyoQ)...
