Irish that teabag book is beautiful, thanks for indulging me and posting a pic;)

irishgirl - thats brilliant :T Not at all like mine. Mine look more like and envelope type thing without the flap...........:rotfl:
Still, they're ok I think. Just did some more for freebie perfume samples to go in and my friends anti-age stuff.
Bit awkward as I had to do them a bit bigger but I got there in the end.

Want to do some more now -don't know anyone else who drinks tea except my son................and ideas what else I could make them for ?

I saw a cute slider candy (chocolate) bar holder:D It was really nice and a lot more personal than just giving a choclate bar. It looks quite easy I think;)

Thanks stardrops42, what a lovely idea.
Think I will make some 'chrismasy' ones .... or at least I'll give it a go :T:T:T

stardrops - thanks for that. It's more or less the way I did my tea bag holders but I like the idea of concealing chocolate like that.

sandy - oh lor............long long list ..........found some bits upstairs -freebie sachets of stuff that I can pop in them.............I've added the rest of your list to mine:j Thanks.
A lot of my presents end up being posted so I normally cover shoe boxes and these sort of things are ideal for little fillers

Im loving these tea bag holders.

Im gonna make them for my son's friends instead of xmas cards but im gonna put tattoo's or mini sticker sheets in them instead, i just bought these of ebay:

I have found a company who does envelopes small enough and fairly cheaply:

But before i order i will have to double check measurements.

Thanks for the link the 85mm by 85mm square envelopes would be perfect for the teabag holder
