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.
Can’t wait to make this one.
I am making these. Love them! I added the cellophane bags to my order to make these. Thank you for sharing this project, Lyssa. You have the best ideas!
