Tea Box

I saw this idea on Pinterest and was interested to make one myself as they are so cute. I thought I would make it for Dad for Fathers Day. It's a little tea bag dispenser. I was able to download the measurements and last night Greg and I had a go at scoring all lines as it was the first one I wanted his help. It wasn't actually that hard to do. I used some dark brown cardstock and then after scoring and cutting added the layers of coloured paper on the sides. I stuck with masculine looking patterns as it's for a male. Unfortunately the sun was shining on the second photo so it's hard to see. I added some borders and used my Love you a Latte for the tea pot (love this cartridge) and the tea sentiment. For the knob I used some liquid dimensional that I got on clearance at Michaels for only $1.99, it went perfect for the knob! For the back I stamped tea cups in various inks and cut them out and decorated with little hearts. Then I filled up the dispenser with tea bags and added the top and bottom which are chipboard pieces. I used my Nestabilities squares to add a layer of patterned paper. So cute, I hope my Dad likes it for Fathers Day.
