Hi friend!
I'm back with more ways to
repurpose those used tea bags.
The papers are strong and perfect for making
snippet rolls.
Why would you make these rolls?
They are a great base or background for
future art projects.
Start with dried and empty teabags.
Gently open at seam and lay flat.
I used 6 of similar width per roll.
I glued end to end, overlapping 1/4''
I laid out some scraps of paper,
vintage lace, fabric and
ribbon.
Just start to tack down with glue.
There is no right or wrong way!
Just enjoy the process-
layer upon layer.
I took a piece of thread, wrapped around my finger
to form a little nest.
Then glued a small doily flower on top
to add some dimension.
I wanted to stay with neutral tones.
On one of the rolls, I added some printed paper.
I took the roll over to my sewing machine and
stitched down across and over for the length of the roll.
This roll I spattered with gold paint
using an old toothbrush with stiff bristles.
Just wanted to see if I liked it with the paint.
I found some twigs.
I used them to roll my snippets-
Tied with ribbon for later use-
Snippets can be used in junk journals-
for page decor, tag embellishments, belly bands.
Easily cut to any size needed.
Can be used for giftwrapping and card making.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this
scrap project-
Thank you for visiting today!
