This is such a fun time of year.
It's the season for
all things handmade and homespun.
Here is a primitive little tag
you can add to any gift or wreath.
I even use these to tag our Christmas Stockings
with family names.
I also reinforce the paper punch on back
with another piece of paper.
This wreath was a coffee theme...
made from a burlap coffee bag
with family names.
This fall I've used them on wreaths.
Using Brown Craft paper and white cardstock,
I brush instant tea granules with just a bit of water
directly on the paper.
(1/4 cup tea plus 1 or 2 Tbsp. Water)
Brush both sides of paper.
Set aside to dry.
Cut and tear the paper
into sizes and shapes you like.
with another piece of paper.
This wreath was a coffee theme...
made from a burlap coffee bag
You can find out how to make
the burlap wreath here.
I continued the coffee theme
with a coffee filter flower dipped in the tea
and embellishing the tag with coffee beans.
Tea-Stain and Glitter...
Now that's Farmhouse Glam.
So glad you could visit,
Deb

I "THINK" even I can make these! I really like these tags - Jeanene F. always makes tags like this and I have always enjoyed getting them from her. Now, I can make my own. Thanks for (all) the great tutorials. HUGS... and stitches
Hey, that's great Christie. These would be a sweet doo dad on your quilted gifts.
Have a wonderful day,

Love it--love how you tied a verse in with coffee--amen sister!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. What a great idea! I can't wait to make a few of these. I found you on Time Travel Thursday and am glad I did. I am also your newest follower. Hope you get a chance to stop by Still Woods Farmhouse for a visit!
I love the simple and natural look of your tea tags! It's been a long time since I've dyed anything with tea, but seeing your pics brings back a lot of fun memories when I dyed muslin with tea to make aged dolls. Thanks for the inspiration and fun idea!
OH, I know..I used to make primitive dolls. Miss that! The tea gives such a warm worn look.
Thanks!
Deb
