I am back in Portland from my week long trip to San Francisco. Though I was working with Creativebug most of the week and being filmed for my upcoming series on wedding decor, I was able to spend Friday and Saturday enjoying the city, the art and craft stores as well as drinking in the Impressionists exhibit at the Legion of Honor museum. I always feel so inspired creatively when I travel and this trip was no exception!

Last Tuesday I posted my Mother’s Day Brunch for my 12 Months of Martha series. For this setting, I added my own printable touches that included this Mother’s Day tea tag. Today I am not only sharing the printable tag, but wanted to share a great idea on how to create your own pretty tea bags with loose tea and cheese cloth. This brand of tea sells their tea bags in a style very similar to this, and I just adore the homemade touch to this pretty Mother’s Day gift idea. Here are the steps below to make your own tea bags. Every time your mom makes a cup of tea, she will be reminded of your sweet sentiment. The printable is available by clicking the button at the end of this post. I printed onto a card stock, trimmed and folded and used a touch of hot glue to attach them to the end of the strings. Of course if you want to use pre-made tea bags, you could simply glue these sweet tags over the top of the purchased ones. Enjoy! ~ Lia

I love this! About how big did you cut the cheesecloth squares? How much tea per bag?

  @Anne
  
  They were about 4″x4″ and then I filled them with the same amount of loose tea I would use for one cup.

Wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing. What type of paper did you use to print the tags? And where did you buy the tea can?

  @Candy
  
  The tags are on a white card stock. The can of loose leaf tea is Mariage Freres which I purchased in Paris, but I have seen them at tea shops here in the US.

What a lovely idea.

I love to sip a good cup of tea and so does my daughter. This would make a sweet gift for her on Mother’s Day (She’s been a mommy for almost 2 years). I know she would love it.

Really, those tags could be used for any special day; just change the name of the holiday or occasion. 🙂

We are headed to San Francisco! Do you have any recommendations for must see arts and craft stores?

Reply

  @Alyce
  
  Definitely go to Flax. It is quite large and you can spend some time there. The other place I went to was over in Berkley, mostly because they stock the floral crepe paper I use. It is called Castles in the Air and is on 4th Ave with all the other wonderful shops.
