To make your own reusable tea bags, fold fabric over a string, stitch the sides, and create a small pouch.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Gather Materials: You'll need fabric (like cotton muslin), thread, a sewing machine (optional, hand-sewing works too), scissors, and a piece of string about 9 inches long.
- Fold the Fabric: Fold the longer side of your fabric over the string. Do this twice to create a secure enclosure.
- Stitch the Sides: Fold the resulting rectangle in half. Stitch all three open sides of the folded fabric, ensuring the stitching is continuous to prevent tea leaves from escaping. This creates a small pouch with the string securely attached.
