Using tea bags in junk journals

Lize on Instagram: "I already made a start in my tea bag journal. (The first and last page are made of a piece of tea dyed vellum, the other ones of used tea bags) I think this journal is perfect for small collages with all the tiny paper scraps that I have. I really need to use those more often. And I used print-on stickers. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with the pages on the left-hand side where you can see the back of the previous collage. Maybe write on it...🤔 (The 'leave space…

I love using tea bags for all kinds of things. I paint on them, embroider on them, or use them in junk and art journals. Next I want to try and use them in paper mache as accents and I even saved the strings for funky doll hair maybe? They have a ton of uses.Since I have been asked, I thought I show you how I harvest the tea bags for use.A few things first: after brewing your tea, pop the used bags on a little plate and let them dry for a few days. There are three reasons for this.1. The…

Corinna on Instagram: "TEA BAG IMAGE TRANSFER and paper- 2 for 1 in this reel 😆😆😆 I had the teabags out so I did 2 things here. First an image transfer this technique is everywhere so go take a look and the second I placed a sheet of baking paper down a couple of images from Alex @alexcastroferreira7770 and with a mixture of water and PVA glue went for it and overlapped the teabags to create paper, once dry tan it through the machine and that’s it. Experimenting with things at the moment…

Making art using tea bags is kind of like going on an art mini-vacation. You have your regular work, but you stop to take a break and make art on a tea bag. It’s quick and you feel like you’ve been a way for a while. I like to use a tea bag for an art-making mini-vacation because: Tea bags are s

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog. Today I'm sharing a little tea bag booklet I've made using the Bird Waltz collection. I used tea filters which I tea died. I glued two filters/bags together, stacked them and sewed in the middle to get a little book. This book is 3 x 4,5 inches (7,5 x 10 cm) with 30 pages. I decorated each page.
