Adorable "Tea for Two" Caddy holds two teabags and cookies to go

I've been meaning to share this precious little free-standing tea bag caddy for ages--well, today's the day! Someone gave me one years ago at a Stampin' Up convention and I took it apart and figured it out for you all (after I ate the cookies).

The Tea for Two Holder is so easy to make--once you've made one, you won't be able to quit making them! They are perfect for ladies' ministries at church, wedding or baby showers, co-worker gifts, get well soon packages--you name it!

You'll need a piece of double-sided paper cut to 8.5 x 12 inches, something to score with (Simply Scored Board or paper trimmer) and a stapler. Here's some quick tips:

• Use these gusseted cello bags for the cookies, or in a pinch you can use self-sealing clear envelopes.
• I stapled mine shut, but you can also close the holder by punching two holes and threading ribbon through to tie into a bow.
• In the sample shown above, my bows are actually just adhered with Glue Dots.
• You can fold the diagonal flaps to the inside or the outside--or both--if you prefer. Just depends on how much of which pattern you prefer to see more of! The pretty navy and white paper I used is called Floral Boutique and you can find it here.

Please feel free to share this blog post with your friends. The more the merrier! Everyone can use a quick, practical project like this. I specialize in those kinds of projects! I hope you'll check out the rest of the 100% Free Tutorial Library for more "real-life" papercrafting tips and tricks.
