Sometimes I feel like I'm walking slightly out of step with everyone else. Yesterday I shared how I'm a late adopter of things. Now I'm letting you know that I do not like coffee and never have. My dad told me I'd start drinking it in college, in order to wake up after a night of studying (or partying, but that wasn't me). When I didn't take to it in college, he told me I'd start drinking it to wake myself up for work. Still didn't - instead, I woke myself up with 5 AM marathon-training runs (that out-of-step thing.....).
I did end up loving tea, though! I drink tea in the morning, afternoon, and evening. It isn't just the taste, either. The ritual of making and enjoying tea is soothing. I have a cupboard devoted to tea because of my great love for it.
So when I saw the Rise and Shine Sale-A-Bration set (available until March 31) I immediately went looking for a tea bag holder to make. I found a Double Pocket one and it's SO easy!
This is the other side of the Double Pocket Tea Bag holder. It uses a 6"x6" piece of Designer Series Paper so break out those paper pads! There is zero waste, too!
And here is a side view. I wanted you to see that little mountain fold in between the two pockets. That is what allows this to stand up. Pineapple Punch Grosgrain Ribbon and a bit of Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine keep the pockets tied together.
