My first attempt at teabag folding

Although I've been crafting for many years, I've never tried decoupage or teabag folding. So when our first order from Small Beauties arrived, I decided I had to give it a try.

So here is my first attempt at teabag folding:

A few not quite straight folds, but I hope you agree the effect is striking - mainly due to Small Beauties gorgeous designs, of course.

I found the folding straightforward - in fact, it's quite relaxing and therapeutic, but I did sometimes forget whether I was supposed to be folding out or folding in! It was a bit fiddly putting the squares together but a bit of PVA did the trick.

To make the card, I took an A6 cream gatefold card blank and stuck rose pink satin ribbon around the middle. The teabag design was mounted onto a piece of card before sticking to the left side of the gatefold. To finish I added a diamonte in the centre of the teabag design and added some peel off corners.
