Do you have a tea lover on your Christmas list?
I do too and these little tea wallets are perfect for them. The wallets hold up to 4 packaged tea bags.
It only takes (4) 5″x 7″ pieces, 5″ x 7″ fusible interfacing, button and elastic or ribbon. These were really easy to whip up. I actually made all of these last night. It would have gone much faster too if my machine wasn’t being so angry with me! We had a couple of fights last night:)
I made myself one too. Since I’ve given up soda/caffeine, I’ve been drinking a lot of water. That gets old real fast so this seemed like a great idea to take with me when I’m on the go. Especially since there are a lot of teas out there that are decaf.
Here’s the tutorial I used for these if you’re interested.
Toss this in your purse and you might just find yourself asking for a mug of hot water instead of soda the next time your out for lunch!

I love this idea too, Lorrie! Great little gift for tea lovers, and I agree they can be used for other purposes.
I’ve never tried vanilla caramel tea…it sounds interesting :)

Great mother-in-law gift! I haven’t used fusible web in long time (maybe never). Is there a different needle I should be using in my machine? My machine has an appetite for needles as it is…

I wouldn’t think so Margaret. Ask for a lightweight fusible. The fusible is thin and not sticky. Your needle should have no problems.
