Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: Decorated Tea Bags
Hello crafters, it’s Nina-Marie here with you! Welcome back to a brand new National Craft Month edition of Studio Monday! Because March is National Craft Month, we are focusing on making super-easy, DIY projects with some of your cardmaking or scrapbooking supplies. Today’s project is how to make decorated tea bags! These are perfect for creating as gifts for friends or family members.
I love the images from Altenew’s Tea Time stamp set; aren’t they cute? The artsy, hand drawn style of them inspired me to break out my watercolors and do some loose watercoloring, which is my favorite way to watercolor. You don’t have to use this set however to make these tea bags; if you have a favorite set of images (in any theme), that would be awesome too!
The tags are from Pretty Pink Posh’s Mini Tag die set; I loved the size of these dies, and they fit really well with the images from Tea Time.
Here are some close up shots of the finished tags…
I hope you will check out the video to see how I made these cuties! Thanks for tuning in with me today… I will be back again next week with a new tutorial for you!

great gift idea
What a great project. Love this idea for my sisters. Thanks for inspiration.
Cute idea! TFS
So sweet and cleaver – just right for the tea drinker – super! TFS
These would be great added to a card! Thanks for the idea!
It has never occurred to me to make my own teabags (or, at least the little paper tag part). I feel like I would be constantly afraid of getting it wet if I did watercolor on it. But that might just be because I’m a bit of a mess. This is such a sweet idea, especially for a special occasion like a wedding or baby shower. Thanks for sharing with us!
Fun idea and I learned a little more watercoloring. I already follow by email.
I adore this idea! What a fun way to customize a gift of tea for a friend. Thanks for the terrific inspiration Nina Marie!
Simply darling.

I am a big tea drinker and I love the idea of decorating little tags on the tea bags. I am definitely going to try my artistic style for duplicating this project.
I love gift tags, miniature cards, and anything small. They are really cute. Thanks.
These would be cute for my tea drinking friends.
Love this idea – and love this stamp set – thanks!!!

What a lovely way to personalise something that might otherwise be a little mundane!
Over the top adorable!
Those are super adorable. Love the watercoloring.
What an adorable idea! I will definitely be making these for my MIL for Mother’s Day – she’s an avid tea drinker and I’m sure she will love the tiny bit of art with her tea.
