An easier t-bag design

Here is a less complicated design for t-bag folding.

Each butterfly is made up of 4 tiles ( a traditional pattern uses 8) and arranged on a square piece of card. This is then embelished with punched daisies, open circles and gem stones; the edges have been deckled to create a lacey effect. The topper has been matted onto dark then metalic card.

If you would like to have a go yourself, try a book called "Tea Bag Folding" by Tiny Van Der Plas & Janet Wilson. It's full of easy to follow instructions. (Perhaps you could borrow it from your local library) While you are perfecting the technique, ANY paper will do, but its well worth buying the proper papers once you are ready to make a card etc. There are websites where you can download papers for free, with or without dividing lines.

I hope you will try it for yourself some time because its always nice to do something which is so creative.

Until next time.... happy crafting!
