MATERIALS:
- round coffee filters; disposable tea filter bags can be used as well
- thread or string
- loose leaf tea
- mod melt sticks in white
- mod melt molds
- mod melter or glue gun
- scissors
- toothpicks
- stapler
DIRECTIONS:
- Place the white mod melt stick in the mod melter and heat up.
- Once heated up, squeeze the mod melt into the mod melt mold of choice.
- While the mold is still melted and hot, cut a piece of string and place it onto the mold, add a bit more of the mod melt on top of the string if needed.
- Allow to harden, this can take about 15 minutes depending on the size of the mold.
- Remove the mold and paint as desired.
- You can also use a toothpick to move the melted mod melt once poured into the mold, to help cover the entire design if needed. L3: Use a toothpick to move the melted mod melt to help cover the entire design.
- Use scissors to cut off any excess material on the design.
- To make the DIY tea bags, use a round coffee filter, fold it in half and cut off the rounded edge.
- Open back up and pour desired amount of loose leaf tea into the center.
- Fold in half again, and roll a few times where the edge meets to create a long rectangle.
- Fold the rectangle in half, keeping the tea at the bottom of the fold.
- Fold the top part, where the two ends meet, a few time to create a cleanly folded top of the tea bag; this will create a small rectangular shape that looks like a normal size tea bag.
- Place the string onto the tea bag, and use a stapler to attach it, which also will hold the tea bag together.
