The 3D project that I had at my June Tea Party was this 3D Tea Bag & Treat Holder. Although this is a project that has been around for quite a while, it was perfect for what I needed. So I decided to resurrect it!
All you need is a 6"x6" piece of Designer Series Paper, a scoreboard or Trimmer with a score blade, a ribbon and whatever you want to embellish it with.
First of all you fold your 6"x 6" paper in half, point to point.
Then using either your trimmer or scoreboard, place your paper folded side to the left. Make your first score at 1/2". Flip over and do the same thing on the opposite side.
Now turn your paper with the folded edge at the top of the trimmer or scoreboard. Score at 2 3/4". Flip and score at 2 3/4" again on the opposite end.
That's all the scoring so you can put your trimmer or scoreboard away.
Now, crease all your scorelines. I use my bonefolder to make sure I get a good creased edge.
With your center going horizontal, fold the left side in along score line then right side.
Then fold the first outer fold away from you. Turn over and fold the second fold away from you. This forms your tea bag holder!
Punch a hole at the top and tie ends together with ribbon.
Add whatever embellishment you want to one side. I chose to decorate the tea bag side since that was the theme of my event. After decorating, add tea bag in one side and a treat in the other. Give to someone special!!
