Thanks for the tip; using dryer sheets is an excellent idea; I use wool balls in my dryer, but I might go out and buy a box of dryer sheets to use for art and crafts 😊
great idea. I unearthed a box of used teabag papers that I had misplaced and this idea has has been added to the list of things to play with. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you found something interesting; as mentioned in the video, I'm a big tea drinker and was delighted to use the teabags - I've also started painting on them and used those on greeting cards. 🙂
Hi there from North Carolina, USA. You must be either in SA or an ex-pat! I grew up in the Cape. Love hearing you speak, brings back memories. I have been working with teabags for some years, trying many different projects!! Can't drink US tea, so still buy my Typhoo and PG Tips...
Hi JillzArt, good guess😉- farmgirl from Bloemfontein, calling Canada home for the last 20+ years. I'm also a big tea drinker, and I'm sticking to Twinings Black Tea or their English Breakfast tea. 😊
What a brilliant option; thanks for sharing, Evelyn; I'm going to use an emery board next time - I learn something new daily, and this one's a treasure😊
It's lovely. We were just in Sante Fe and toured some art galleries. One gallery had a large tea bag art piece that was so unusual. It really caught my attention.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you creating this beautiful gorgeous and very textural canvas. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Book and Paper Arts does a 2 part UA-cam series on making a small teabag journal that you might find interesting. This was a fun video, thank you. I love your textures!
Thank you for this great reminder - I use a water pen when tearing handmade paper; it didn't even cross my mind to use it on the cardboard. I'm working on another project with cardboard today. You are a lifesaver and just in time 😊
Aw, thank you so much😊. My studio/craft room is my happy place; I spend most of my waking hours there. I will be starting with new videos and projects in the new year.
Just found you. Love this project!! Thx for sharing your talents! Will you please tell me what you used to then apply the embossing powder; what the round tool is called that you use to press down on the stamp; and what you used to distress the sides of the canvas. Thank you for your help. Love this tutorial!
Thank you for the kind words. 😊I used an Embos It Dabber from Ranger before applying the embossing powder. It is convenient to have one, and there is also a pen you can use for smaller areas and not always have to use the stamp pad. The round tool is called a Stamp Barron from SpeedBall Art. I also have an old iron I picked up from a thrift shop that I use; it works just as well. For the sides, I've used mini stamp pad ink. Mine is from Stampin-Up.
Glad I could help with ideas ~ as for the stamp, unfortunately, I can't remember where and when I purchased it. I checked the stamp, and it is a "Hero Arts" stamp, and the stamp number or code is S5501. I did a quick search and found this (it's an Australian website); here is the link for your convenience😊 stampsandcraft.com.au/shop/stamps/hero-arts/woodmounted/musical-collage-s5501/
This is very pretty! I’ve been saving tea bags for a while now and am looking for projects to use them in. Love your handmade paper! Will check out your channel for more on that (unless you have a handy playlist?). I see you have “Distress” embossing powder....since they don’t make that anymore they must be pretty old! Do you like them? New subbie here Michigan USA ❤️🦋💜
Thank you for your kind words, Cindy. Recently I did another project on stretched canvas (for a gallery exhibition) where I covered dried Fall leaves with teabags; unfortunately, I didn't video it. Please try it; it looks so good. Sadly, I don't have a "paper" playlist. As for the distress embossing powders - yes, they are pretty old.😂 Ranger had replaced them with the Tim Holtz distress embossing glaze, which is translucent.
@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter yes.....I love the Distress embossing glazes....so different from other products! What a cool idea to cover dried leaves....I love using dried flowers too. Would love to see that.....
@@cindyhenry1410, I haven't worked with the Distress Embossing Glazes yet; trying to work through my "hoarding stash" first.🤣I've added dried leaves/flowers and tea bags to my video list.

So no more excuses for you, Carol, time to turn those saved teabags into art. 🤣😂We all save things for later, except later has no time limit.😉

I wish you many happy teabag fun playing time. There is so much we can do with the teabag papers.😊
That is the best idea I've seen in a long time!!! Thank you for sharing.

TFS this lovely project.
You are welcome; I had fun working on the project😊
Thanks. I have lots of tea bags, too, so I'm, inspired.
You're so welcome ~ one of these days, tea drinkers will outnumber coffee drinkers. Luckily we can use our "leftovers" in our art and crafts 😂
It has the Shroud of Turin look.
It never occurred to me, but now that you've mentioned it - my mind is spinning with images to add under the teabags; THANKS😍
Amazing
Who knew teabags are an art medium ~ so much fun to incorporate them into art.😊
Very creative and the process is quite impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, it was a learning curve for me, and I got so many tips from others reading the comments. 😊
Thanks for the breyer tip to get ink from the stamps 😊

Hi JillzArt, good guess😉- farmgirl from Bloemfontein, calling Canada home for the last 20+ years. I'm also a big tea drinker, and I'm sticking to Twinings Black Tea or their English Breakfast tea. 😊
my way of working the edges is pretty much the same as yours, but I use a cheap emery board rather than sand paper just because it's easier to hold.
What a brilliant option; thanks for sharing, Evelyn; I'm going to use an emery board next time - I learn something new daily, and this one's a treasure😊
Thank you.. I really enjoyed your explorations.
I'm so glad to see you've enjoyed the video😊
You could bend the edges of the teabags down and attach them to the sides of the canvas. That would give the sides a finished look.
Great idea! Thanks for the tip, Veronica 😊
I'm always drawn to earth tones. I might have tried some small wooden flowers along with a twine or antique crocheted bow. Very nice.
What a great idea, especially the antique crocheted bow. These are perfect matches for the teabags! 😊
I love ittttt 💖 Greetings from Argentina 💌 Your job is amaizing 🥰
Thank you so much; it's so great to see art is bringing the world together! 🥰😊
It's lovely. We were just in Sante Fe and toured some art galleries. One gallery had a large tea bag art piece that was so unusual. It really caught my attention.
The art in Santa Fe is beautiful, and so many galleries and museums to visit. Can you remember which gallery you saw the teabag art piece, please?
@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter It was near the Vivo Gallery in the 700 block, but not sure if it was that one. We only visited 4.
@@EsmericArtMixedMediaPewter I double checked and it is at Vivo Contemporary. :)
@@gailmariage5318, thank you so much 😊
Thanks for sharing ! I collage with teabags & love this idea .Judy - Brisbane Australia .
That's awesome, Judy; teabags are so versatile ~ happy collaging. 😊
Love you proses
Oh forgot to say how lovely your design room looks gorgeous beautiful

Oh, that sounds interesting; I will check it out, and thank you.😊
Loved your tea bag coverage on canvas!I'm going to try that on small canvas waiting to be used. New sub
I really enjoyed your video from Denmark 🇩🇰.
Use water an a brush on the cardboard. Draw a line with the brush dipped water that you want to tear. Make certain the cardboard is saturated
Thank you for this great reminder - I use a water pen when tearing handmade paper; it didn't even cross my mind to use it on the cardboard. I'm working on another project with cardboard today. You are a lifesaver and just in time 😊
😝I love the hand made paper you used. Did you make a video on making that?
Unfortunately, there is no video, as I bought the handmade paper from an art store. 😊
Excited to be a new subscriber for you. Beautiful craft room. Love your creativity. 😊❤😊
Aw, thank you so much😊. My studio/craft room is my happy place; I spend most of my waking hours there. I will be starting with new videos and projects in the new year.

Use a rollerpen to get good coverage of the stamp!
Thanks, brilliant idea!😊
When dry flip over and cut extra with razor ......covering edges with bag pieces are interesting
Thank you for the tip, Peter; I will try it next time😊
❤😊
Let the teabags dry, turn the canvas face down on a cutting mat, press down on it and cut the overlapping bits off with a scalpel. Mind your fingers!
That is a great tip; I'm on a bit of a hiatus, but I will remember this one when I return to creating, hopefully, sooner than later😊
I'm thinking an nail emery board would lend itself nicely to sanding down the sides...
Thanks for the tip; it does work well; I tried it on another project.😊
What did you call the handled pressure tool?
It is a stamp baren, also called a printing baren from Speedball. (barren is often spelled with two r's as well 😊)
Cardboard nail file.
What a great tip! Thanks for sharing ~ the cardboard nail file will be easy to maneuver around the canvas edges 😊
I use a nail file
getting a bit tedious.
That is not canvas it is a wood box.
It is a wooden box; however, it also goes by wooden canvas 😊
