I’m making this tea bag gift idea today with cardstock and ribbon from the retiring in colours.

Using a 4 by 8 inch piece of cardstock will allow two to be made from one sheet.

On the short side – Score at 1 and 1¼

On the long side – Score at ¼, ½ and 3¾

Rotate and score the same measurements (inches). This should create a ½ “spine” section in the middle.

You can see how I made this project in my video tutorial…

To decorate, I secured coordinating ribbon and added designer series paper.

The Heartfelt Hexagon and Circle punches created the sentiment topper for the front.
