1. Measure the sides of your chipboard box and cut pieces of patterned paper to size. Cover box with High Tac adhesive and adhere patterned paper pieces to the sides. Dab white paint onto all 4 corners to hide imperfections in the seams.
2. Cut another piece of patterned paper to size for the lid, allowing enough overhang to fold over the sides. Apply more High Tac adhesive to the lid and adhere paper. Cut slits from each outside corner of the overhanging paper to the inside corner of the box, and wrap paper to the inside. Paint corners.
3. Measure a strip of ribbon to fit across the box lid, allowing enough ribbon to go over the sides. Adhere ribbon using Ribbon Adhesive to the lid.
Tip: A good tip when using the Ribbon Adhesive is to burnish the adhesive while the plastic covering is still on with a tool like a Popsicle stick. This will really allow the adhesive to adhere to the ribbon.
4. Create a flower by punching or die cutting 2 large shapes and 4 smaller shapes from patterned paper. Soak pieces briefly in water, scrunch into a tight ball, and smooth back out. Allow pieces to dry completely. In this photo, I've shown with the 4 smaller flowers how they will look once they've been through this process. Once they are dry, adhere the layers together using Extreme Adhesive Squares and Micro Extreme Adhesive Squares. Top flower with a bead from the designer pins.
5. Paint the teapot from the Wooden Shapes white and edge with pink ink. Using a pink gel pen, highlight the laser cut detailing and the edge. Add decorative rhinestones to the teapot's lid.
6. Decorate box lid with the handmade flower, the wooden teapot, a stamped tag, and a cardstock sticker flag. Adhere everything with Extreme Adhesive Squares.
7. Measure the width and height of your gift teabags. Cut strips of patterned paper 1/4" narrower that the width of the teabag, and 2x's the height of the teabag plus 1/2" extra. My teabags are 2.5" x 3", so I cut my strips to 2.25" x 6.5". Fold bottom up at 1". Then place teabag inside with the bottom of the bag against the fold, and measure where to fold the top down. For my bag of 3", I have one fold mark at 1" and the second at 4".
8. Using a slot punch, cut a notch on the bottom fold. If you don't have a slot punch, don't worry. You can tape the fold, or staple it, or simply hold it closed with our Extreme Adhesive Squares.
9. Decorate teabags with twine, buttons, cardstock sticker flags, stamped tags, and more rhinestones.
