      I’m having trouble getting the tea bags apart without tearing them. Yours look perfect. Is there a trick to it?

    • @theartsiecrafter
      @theartsiecrafter  Рік тому +1

      I dry the teabags out completely before opening them up. I open the top end of the teabag where the string is stapled to it. I empty the tea out and then pull the seam side apart - sometimes the side seam tears but most of the teabag stays in tack. I hope I have helped.

      I'm not offended at all, as the dangling black cord distracts me, as well. The cord is my microphone that attaches to my overhead phone camera - it's not long enough to keep out of sight all the time, but I do my best. Haven't found a solution to the problem, but working on it.

    • @theartsiecrafter
      @theartsiecrafter  Рік тому +1

      I just used regular sized tea bags - once I dried the tea bag and removed the tea leaves, I used my scissors to cut along the side seam and then opened the bag out so it's double the width. I then used my sewing machine to stitch the panels together until I made the size I wanted.

    • @theartsiecrafter
      @theartsiecrafter  Рік тому +1

      Hi Lisa. You can use any brand of teabags - I used Twinnings in this project - they do have the texture of very fine mesh to allow for the tea flavour to be absorbed into the water. I hope that helps.

    So can I just use normal Nerada Australian tea bags? And can you just glue them together instead of sewing?

    • @theartsiecrafter
      @theartsiecrafter  Рік тому +1

      You can use Nerada brand tea bags. I have glued the teabags together before instead of sewing them, so it should work - just make sure you overlap them enough to ensure they bond together well. Also, make sure you glue them all on the same side, as I don't know how well the glue will take to paint.
