This is a wee gift I made recently for grandpa (my most loyal blog commenter - my father in law). It turned out pretty cute and you might have a tea lover in your family that you need a last minute Christmas pressie for. It's pretty nice for people who live far away as it's small and lightweight for posting.
It's not an original idea, inspired by these valentines tea bags, and probably some others that I can't recall.
I'm not sure what's up with the blogger formatting at the moment but I realise this is a bit all over the place. I may come back and fix it later but for now I need to go blow up some balloons for the party tomorrow.
I started by printing out photos of the boys, in a circular format because I have a craft punch that exact size. You could easily cut them out by hand though and do them any size you like.
Then I used my craft punch to cut out their sweet faces.
Because I couldn't get tea bags with tags on them already (to glue my photos on top of) I had to sew a length of cotton onto each one.
It was pretty straight forward though.
Then I glued the cotton onto the back of one photo.
Press the other photo on top.
Now Grandpa can have tea with the boys whenever he likes.
Sweet.

From the lucky Grandpa that received this gift I think making a gift for someone is very special and most appreciated, we can get to bound up in the commercialism of life and sometimes forget about the specialness and love of giving.
Much love from a very grateful Grandpa xxooxx

That is a very inspired idea ! Love it.
