being blatantly laszy now but could someone point me in the right direction for an easy to folow tutorial on teabag cards?

Is this one any good?

I've got some tea bag folding instructions I printed out, if I can find the sites I got them from I'll post them.

Other instructions on that site. Click on each project.

Another site.

Hundreds of tea bag designs to print out.

You tube video.

ETA: Oh- I've just read CT's reply. Perhaps you didn't mean Tea Bag Folding but cards which you add tea bags (as in Tetleys) to. Doh! I've had a long day!

DTB - i don't use a tutorial to make teabag cards, but just do the following:

Cut a piece of card 20.5cm x 9cm
Score the card at 8cm and 16cm
This leaves you with a bit of extra card on the right to flap over to make the holder for the teabag and glue the 2 edges.
Decorate as you like and add a teabag.

Does this help you, if you want pictures, i'd need to make one up.

Yes - sorry I should have explained - its a card to put a teabag in that I'm interested in.
I quite like the idea of teabag folding cards but I don't think I have the patience.

They're fiddly! I used to do it, sent for a couple of CDs from USA, very cute backings which you printed onto card and then made the matching tea bag medallions. I'm not sure whether they are still popular now, haven't seen any for a long time. Can't think why I thought that's what you meant, I probably need a coffee :rotfl: .
